Suppose a five-year, $1,000 bond with annual coupons has a price of $901.45 and a yield to maturity of 5.7%.
What is the bond's coupon rate?
M = $1000, n = 5, P = $901.45, i = 5.7%
901.45 = C * 4.246966 + 757.923
143.527 = C * 4.246966
C = $33.80
Coupon rate = Annual coupon/Par Value = $33.80/$1000 = 3.38%
