JK Corp has 4.8 percent coupon bonds on the market with 13 years to maturity. Par value is $1,000. The bonds make semiannual payments and are currently selling at “106.” What is the bond’s current yield?
Further to question #24, what is the bond’s yield-to-maturity?
1)
Annual coupon = 4.8% of 1000 = 48
Price = 106% of 1000 = 1060
Current yield = (Annual coupon / price) * 100
Current yield = (48 / 1060) * 100
Current yield = 4.53%
2)
Semi annual coupon = 48 / 2 = 24
Number of periods = 13 * 2 = 26
Yield to maturity = 4.20%
