2. A company’s bonds currently sell for $1,200. The bonds have a 6-year maturity, a 6% coupon paid semi-annually, and a par value of $1,000. What is the bond’s current yield?
Price of bond = coupon * PVIFA (n,i)+ face value * PVIF (n,i)
1200= Coupon * PVIFA (12 ,3%) + 1000 * PVIF ( 12 ,3%)
1200= Coupon *9.954003993567570 + 1000 *0.7013798801929730
Coupon = (1200 -701.3798801929730 ) / 9.954003993567570
= $ 50.0924170945926
Annual Coupon = Semi Annual Coupon * 2
= 50.0924170945926 *2
= $ 100.184834189185
Current Yield = Annual Coupon / Current Price *100
= $ 100.184834189185 / $ 1000*100
= 10.02%
Answer = 10.02%
