A bond is currently sold at $980, it has 20 years to maturity and 9% coupon rate. The bond will be called in 5 years, the bond will be called at a premium of $1,050 of $1,050, what is the yield to call?
| Face value | $1,000 | ||||||
| Coupen annually | 9% | ||||||
| Coupen amount | $90 | ||||||
| RemainingMaturity years | 15 | ||||||
| Bond Price | $1,050.00 | ||||||
| YTM : | |||||||
| Price of bond = | Coupen * PVAF( YTM, Maturity) + Redemption value * PVF( YTM,Maturity) | ||||||
| Here bond price is greater than face value hence YTM be less than Coupen rate | |||||||
| Therefore lets assume YTM be 8% | |||||||
| Price of bond = | 90*PVAF(8%,15) + 1000*PVF(8%,15) | ||||||
| 90*8.5595+1000*.3152 | |||||||
| 1085.555 | 
at coupen rate price of bond will be same as face value that is $1000
There fore YTm is between 8% and 9%
| YTM = | 8% +{ (1085.555-1050/(1085.555-1050)+ (1050-1000) } *(9-8) | ||||
| 8% + 35.555/85.555 | |||||
| 8.42% |
