Question

You purchase an ABC 10%, 30 Year bond with a $100 face value for 109.72

1) What is the yield to maturity of the bond? 2) What is the current yield on the bond?

3) What is the duration of the bond?

4) If you bought the bond today and sold it after 1 year at a ytm of 10% what is your cash flow yield ?

5) What is your realized compound yield if you held the bond for 11 years if the reinvestment rate (R) was 11%?

Answer 1

Solution:-

Price = $109.72

Coupun Rate = 10%

Time = 30 Years

Face Value = $100

To Calculate Yield to maturity (YTM) of Bond-

Interest Amount = $100 * 10%

Interest Amount = $10

YTM =

YTM =

YTM =

YTM = 9.23%

Yield to Maturity of the Bond is 9.23%.

To Calculate Current Yield of the Bond-

Current Yield =

Current Yield =

Current Yield = 9.11%

To Calculate Duration of Bond-
