Need to check and see if my answer is right. A 30-year 6% semi-annual coupon bond has a PAR value of $1000 and a current price of 103.2121% of PAR. If the tenor of the bond is 14 years, what must the yield of maturity be?

Homework Answers

Answer #1

time (t)= 14 years
Par Value = 1000
Price of Bond = 103.2121%*1000 = 1032.121
Coupon Half yearly = 6%*1000/2 =30
Price = Coupon/(1+YTM/2)2t + Par Value /(1+YTM/2)2t =  30/(1+YTM/2)2t + 1000 /(1+YTM/2)2*14
YTM = 5.66%
