A 5% perpetuity bond has a prince of $980 its YTM=5.10%. Suppose you are holding the bond to partially offset an obligation in 11 years. How much will you have from holding this bond and selling it in 11 years?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer.

Current Yeild from Bond (C.Y) = Annual Interest of Bond (C) / Market Price of the bond (P)

5.10% = C $ 980

C = $980 5.10% = $ 49.98

So, the annual Interest or the Coupon (C) is $49.98 or $ 50.

Yeild to Maturity (YTM) = $ 50 11 years = $ 550

Money Received from holding bond and selling it after 11 years = $550 + $1,000 (Face Value)

= $1,550

Therefore, the obligation to the extent of only $1,550 can be partially met.

If the exact coupon $49.98 is taken in stead of aproximate $50, YTM wil be $549.78 and on sell of bond total money received from the bond will be $1,549.78.

A bond's coupon rate is equal to its yeild to maturity (YTM) if bond are purchased at Par. But, YTM (5.10%) is higher than coupon rate (5%), because the bond is purchased at discount of $20 i.e. in $980 in this case.

The Face Value of the bond is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 5% per year. So, the annual payment (C) is $ 50.
