A firm has a 10% per annum upon bond and sh 1000 face value .The interest is paid semi -annually and the bond has 20 years to maturity.If investors require 12% per annum yield what is the value of the bond? what will be the yield to maturity if the bond was quarterly?
We will use the financial calculator to find the answer
Value of the Bond
N = 40 ( Converted into semi annual periods from annual)
I/Y = 6% (converted into semi annual yield)
FV = 1000
PMT = 50 ( converted into half yearly payments @10%)
PV = 849.54
yield to maturity if the bond was quarterly
N = 80 ( Converted into quarterly periods from annual)
FV = 1000
PMT = 25 ( converted into quarterly payments @10%)
PV = 849.54
I/Y = 11.9917%
I have used PV of the bond which is been calculated in first part. Let me know if you have any questions, please post in comments box.
