A seven-year, semiannual coupon bond is selling for $1,036.73. The bond has a face value of $1,000 and a yield to maturity of 7.11%. What is the coupon rate?
Face/Par Value of bond = $1000
No of Coupon Payments = No of years to maturity*2 = 7 years*2
= 14
Semi-annually YTM = 7.11%/2 = 3.555%
Calculating the Market price of Bond:-
Coupon Payment = $38.9258
So, Semi-annaul Coupon Payment is $38.9258
Annual Coupon rate = (Semi-annaul Coupon Payment*2)/Face Value
Annual Coupon rate =($38.9258*2)/$1000
Annual Coupon rate = 7.79%
