YIELD TO MATURITY AND FUTURE PRICE A bond has a $1,000 par value, 10 years to maturity, and a 7% annual coupon and sells for $985.
A. What is its yield to maturity (YTM)?
B. Assume that the yield to maturity remains constant
for the next three years. What will
the price be 3 years from today?
YTM is the rate at which PV of Cash Inflows are equal to bond Price.
* Nod Price = Bond Price.... Type error
YTM = rate at which least +ve NPV + [ NPV at that rate / change in NPV due to 1 % change in Disc Rate ] * 1%
= 7% + [ 15 / 67.10 ] * 1%
= 7% + 0.22%
= 7.22%
Bond Price after 3 Years:
Then there is balance of 7 years to maturity.
Value of Bond = PV of Cash flows at YTM.
Value of Bond after 3 years is 988.05
