Your firm has just issued a 20-year $1,000.00 par value, 10% annual coupon bond for a net price of $964.00. What is the yield to maturity? Don't use a financial calculator to determine your answer.
A) 10.60%
B) 11.10%
C) 10.44%
D) 10.16%
Face value= 1000
time (n) annual periods = 20
Bond actual price = 964
annual Coupon = 1000*10%= 100
Bond price formula = Coupon amount * (1 - (1/(1+r)^n)/r + face
value/(1+r)^n
r is that rate where price is Equal to Current price
$964
Assume r= 10%, Bond price=
100*(1-(1/(1+10%)^20))/10%+ 1000/(1+10%)^20
1000
Assume r= 11%, Bond price =
100*(1-(1/(1+11%)^20))/11%+ 1000/(1+11%)^20
920.3667188
Bond price is in between Two prices calculated by two rates. So
yield to Maturity is in between 2 rates.
interpolation formula for calculating exact rate = lower rate +
(uper rate - lower rate)*(Uper price - bond actual price)/(uper
price - lower price)
10% + ((11%-10%)*(1000-964)/(1000-920.3667188))
10.44%
So yield to Maturity is 10.44%
Answer is C
