XYZ bonds mature in 15 years and the yield to maturity is 3%. These bonds are currently valued at $1120.08. Find the coupon rate.
Current price=Annual coupon*Present value of annuity factor(3%,15)+1000*Present value of discounting factor(3%,15)
1120.08=Annual coupon*11.9379351+1000*0.641861947
Annual coupon=(1120.08-641.861947)/11.9379351
=$40.058691
Coupon rate=Annual coupon/Face value
=40.058691/1000
=4.01%(Approx)
NOTE:
1.Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
=Annual coupon[1-(1.03)^-15]/0.03
=Annual coupon*11.9379351
2.Present value of discounting factor=1000/1.03^15
=1000*0.641861947
