A corporate bond with a face value of $400,000 selling at a quote of 94.00 today has a coupon of 5% and matures in 12 years. What is the YTM of this bond? What is its credit spread compared to the Treasury yield of 3.5%? YTM=? Credit Spread=?
fv of bond is : $400,000
pv of bond is : 94% * 4,00,000 = $3,76,000
coupon payments (PMT) = $20,000
N = 12 YEARS
THEREFORE, THE YTM IS = 5.7%
THE TREASURY YIELD IS 3.5%
THE CREDIT SPREAD = DIFFERENCE IN THE YIELD OF CORPORATE BONDS - YIELD ON THE TREASURY
= 2.2%
