given the bond was issued on feb 24,2019 with a maturity of 20 years and a coupon of 6% semi annual and par value(face value) of $1000.
(1.)On 24 feb 2020;
number of years to maturity=19
coupon rate=6% p.a compounded semi-annually i.e 3% of $1000
=$30
face value=$1000
interest rate on comparable debt=6% p.a i.e 3% semi annually
so value of bond on 24 feb 2020 i.e present value(PV)=PV Of 19 coupons discounted @3% + PV of FV at the end of 19th year discounted back to feb 24,2020 @3%
=
=$1000
since coupon rate i.e 3% = interest rate used to disc i.e 3% the bond trades at par i.e $1000
NOTE:the above calculations can be simplified by using following strokes on a financial calculator
1000=FV
30=PMT
3=I/Y
19=N
CPT -- PV =$1000.
Current yield on the bond=
=6% OF 1000/1000
=60/1000
=.06 OR 6%.
yield to maturity(YTM) can be calculated from the following calculator strokes:
+/-1000=PV
1000=FV
19=N
30=PMT
CPT-- I/Y = 3% semi annual i.e 3*2=6% annual.
hence YTM IS 6%.
