LKD Co. has 13 percent coupon bonds with a YTM of 8.9 percent. The current yield on these bonds is 9.5 percent. How many years do these bonds have left until they mature?
|
Current Yield = Annual Coupon Payment/Present value of bond
where, coupon rate = 13%
Current yield = 9.5%
If face value =1000, then coupon payment = 130
Using the Current Yield formula,
0.095 = 130/ Present Value
Present Value = 1368.42
Now, Years to maturity = Using excel NPER formula
Syntax: NPER(YTM,coupon payment,present value, face value, 0)
NPER(0.089,130, -1368.42,1000,0)
NPER = 18.86
So, years till maturity = 18.86 years
