A 2-year $100 par value bond pays 10% monthly coupons is sold at par. Determine its effective annual rate
You need to use a Financial calculator to solve this problem. You can download it.
N = 2 (The Bond is for 2 Years)
PV = -100 (The present value of the bond is $100 as it is sold at par)
PMT => 10% of 100 = 10 ( The coupon 10% is on Face Value)
FV = 100 (The Face value of bond is $100)
CPT + I/Y = 10
As the bond is sold at par, so its effective annual rate is equal to its coupon rate, that is 10%
