A 6% coupon, 24-year annual bond has a yield to maturity of 4.4%. Assuming the par value is $1,000 and the YTM does not change over the next year, what will the price of the bond be today? What will the bond price be in one year? What is the capital gains yield for this bond?
Hello Sir/ Mam
Given that:
Future Value = $1000
n = 24
YTM = 4.4%
Coupon = 60
Using Excel formula, "=PV(4.4%,24,-60,-1000,0)", we can calculate the market value of the bond today, i.e. $1,234.26
Price of Bond after one year can be calculated by changing n from 24 to 23. Hence,
Using Excel formula, "=PV(4.4%,23,-60,-1000,0)", we can calculate the market value of the bond today, i.e. $1,228.57.
I hope this solves your doubt.
