Please show all workings. Do not Calculate using Excel
The Approximate Yield to Maturity Formula =[Coupon + ( Face Value - Market Price) / Number of years to maturity] / [( Face Value + Market Price)/2 ] *100
= [$ 80+ ( $ 1,000- $865) /11] /[( $ 1,000+ $ 865)/2] *100
= 92.27272727/932.50*100
= 9.89%
Note : Coupon = Rate * Face Value
= 8%* $ 1,000
= $ 80
Since this formula gives an approximate value, The financial calculators can be used alternatively.
where,
Par Value = $ 1,000
Market Price = $ 865
Annual rate = 8% and
Maturity in Years = 11 Years
Hence the yield to maturity = 10.09%
Answer = 10.09%
