What is the annual coupon rate for a par value bond that sells today for $731.90, paid semiannually, which matures in 16 years, and has a yield to maturity of 8%?
Face/Par Value of bond = $1000
No of semi-annual coupon paymnet(n) = No of years to maturity*2 = 16 years*2
= 32
Semi-annual YTM = 8%/2 = 4%
Current price = $731.90
Calculating the Market price of Bond:-
731.90 - 285.058 = CouponPayment*17.8735514985
Coupon Payment = $25
Semi-annual Coupon Payment is $25
Annual Coupon rate = (Semi-annual Coupon Payment*2)/Face Value = (25*2)/1000
Annual Coupon rate = 5%
