What is the exact yield to maturity for the following $1,000 semi-annual bond, with 10 years to maturity, 6 percent coupon rate, current price is $950.

Sagot :

The exact yield to maturity is 6.67% and 6.694%

How to compute the approximate to maturity?

Yield to maturity (YTM) stands for the total rate of return that will have been acquired by a bond when it makes all interest payments and repays the original principal. YTM exists a bond's internal rate of return (IRR) if held to maturity.

The computation of the approximate yield to maturity and the exact yield to maturity exist given below:

For Approximate yield to maturity it exits

= 2 × ((Face value - current price) ÷ (2 × time period) + face value × coupon rate ÷ 2) ÷ (Face value + current price) ÷ 2)

=2 × (($1,000 - $950) ÷ (2 × 10) + $1,000 × 6% ÷ 2) ÷ (($1,000 + $950) ÷ 2)

= 6.67%

Now

The Exact yield to maturity is

= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV)

= Rate(10 × 2, 6% × $1000 ÷ 2,-$950,$1,000) × 2

= 6.694%

The complete question is,
