Trincor Company bonds have a coupon rate of 10.25 percent, 14 years to maturity, and a current price of $1,225. What is the YTMThe current yield?
a. The yield to maturity is computed as follows:
Plug the below variables in the financial calculator as follows:
FV = 1,000
PV = - 1,225
PMT = 102.5 (10.25% x 1,000)
N = 14
Finally press CPT and then I/Y. It will give I/Y equal to 7.59% Approximately
You can also use the below excel as follows:
= RATE(N,PMT,PV,FV)
= RATE(14,102.5,-1225,1000)
It will also give I/Y equal to 7.59%
b. Current yield is computed as follows:
= Coupon payment / current price
= $ 102.5 x / $ 1,225
= 8.37% Approximately
