use rate function to calculate the yield.
A) YTC AND YTM are
4.978687%x2 9.956% and
|
Investor Return is high in YTC
B) Current yield = coupon payment/ market price
=130/1200
=10.833%
if the bond is called, the current yield will remain the same but the capital gains yield will be different.
C) Capital gain = Current price-face value/face value =1200-1000/1000
= 200/1000
=20%
The expected capital gains (or loss) yield for the coming year depends on whether or not the bond is expected to be called.
