Suppose a one-year zero-coupon bond with face value $100 is trading at $90.909. The corresponding YTM for this bond is ___%
Face value = $100
Years to maturity (T) = 1
Since it is a zero coupon bond, no interest paid is paid.
Present value of the bond = Face value * 1 / (1 + YTM)T
$90.909 = $100 * 1 / (1 + YTM)1
(1 + YTM) = $100 / $90.909
(1 + YTM) = 1.1000
YTM = 0.1000
YTM = 10.00%
So, Corresponding YTM for the bond is 10.00%
