Question

Suppose a 10​-year, $1,000 bond with a 11% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading for a price of $945.47.

a. What is the​ bond's yield to maturity​ (expressed as an APR with semiannual​ compounding)?

b. If the​ bond's yield to maturity changes to 10% ​APR, what will the​ bond's price​ be?

Answer 1

Ans:- we will use the RATE and PV function of excel to find the YTM (Yield to maturity) & Bond Price.

For YTM, Nper=10*2=20,Pmt=$1000*11%/2=$55, PV=-$945.47, FV=$1000

For Bond Price, Rate=10%/2, Nper=10*2=20, Pmt=-$1000*11%/2=-$55, FV=-$1000

Note:- If this answer helps you pls give thumbs up.
