You are a US. Treasury bond dealer who trades a 4.75%, 3year, semi-annual coupon bond. Your required YTM is 0.92826126%. How should you quote your asked price in percentage of par value?
Face/Par Value of US. Treasury bond= $1000
Semi-Annual Coupon Bond = $1000*4.75%*1/2
= $23.75
No of coupon Payments(n) = No of years to maturity*2 = 3 years*2 = 6
Semi-annual YTM = 0.92826126%/2 = 0.46413063%
Calculating the Market price of Bond:-
Price = $140.214 + $972.599
Price = $1112.81
So,the current market price of these bonds is $1112.81
- Quoted Ask price in percentage of par value = Current price/Par Value = $1112.81/$1000
= 111.281%
