Rolling Company bonds have a coupon rate of 7.80 percent, 17 years to maturity, and a current price of $1,276. What is the YTM? The current yield? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Information provided:
Time= 17 years
Coupon rate= 7.80%
Coupon payment= 0.078*1000= $78
Current price= present value= $1,276
Future value= 1,000
The yield to maturity is calculated by entering the below in a financial calculator:
N= 17
PMT= 78
FV= 1,000
PV= -1,276
Press the CPT key and I/Y to calculate the yield to maturity.
The value obtained is 5.2973.
Therefore, the yield to maturity is 5.30%.
Current yield is calculated using the below formula:
Current Yield= Annual interest/Current price
= $78/ $1,276
= 0.0611*100
= 6.11%
