B) 3.70 percent

C) 3.88 percent

D) 4.71 percent

E) 4.64 percent

Expert Solution

Given Face value = $ 1000

Market price = $ 974

Let Coupon rate be 2X %

Semi Annual coupon amount = $ 1000*2X%/2

= $ 10X

Duration = 15 years

No.of Coupons received = 15*2=30

YTM = 4.03%

Haly yearly YTM = 4.03% /2

= 2.015%

We know that

At YTM, Sum of the discounted value of future cash inflow is equal to the Market price of the bond

30	10X	0.5496	5.496X
	1000	0.5496	549.6

	Total		223.503X+549.6

By solving the Equation we get

223.503X+549.6 = $ 974

223.503X = $ 974-$ 549.6

223.503X = $ 424.4

X = $ 424.4/223.503

= 1.898855%

2X ( YTM) = 1.898855*2

= 3.79771

Option A) 3.80 % is the correct answer

Part B

We know that

At YTM, Present value of future cash inflows is equal to the market price of the bond
