A 20-year bond has a current price of $800, a par-value of $1000, a coupon rate of 8% and pays quarterly. This bond is callable in 8 years. What is the current YTC of this bond?
Current Price (P) = $800
Par Value(F)= $1000
time left until maturity(n)quaterly= 20 years = 20*4 =80periods
Coupon interest payment (c) =$1000*(0.084) = $ 20
= 0.025
Hence current YTC of bond = 0.025 * 4 = 0.1 = 10%
