Yield to Maturity and Current Yield
You just purchased a bond that matures in 5 years. The bond has a face value of $1,000 and an 8% annual coupon. The bond has a current yield of 8.21%. What is the bond's yield to maturity? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. The answer is a percentage (%).
Step-1:Calculation of current price | ||||
Current Price | = | Annual coupon | / | Current Yield |
= | $ 80.00 | / | 8.21% | |
= | $ 974.42 | |||
Working: | ||||
Annual coupon | = | Face Value | * | Coupon rate |
= | $ 1,000.00 | * | 8% | |
= | $ 80.00 | |||
Step-2:Calculation of yield to maturity | ||||
Yield to maturity | =rate(nper,pmt,pv,fv) | |||
= 8.65% | ||||
Working: | ||||
nper | = | 5 | ||
pmt | = | $ 80.00 | ||
pv | = | $ -974.42 | ||
fv | = | $ 1,000.00 |
