Consider a bond with the following characteristics today (Year 0):
Face Value=$1,000
Coupon Rate=4%
Interest Rate=5%
Time to maturity=13 years
What is the total yield in Year 4?
Value of Bond =
Where r is the discounting rate of a compounding period i.e. 5%
And n is the no of Compounding periods 13
Coupon 4%
=
= 375.74291952 + 530.3213506
= 906.06
Value of Bond after 4 years
Value of Bond =
Where r is the discounting rate of a compounding period i.e. 5%
And n is the no of Compounding periods 9
Coupon 4%
=
= 284.312867048 + 644.60891619
= 928.921783238
Total yield = Coupon * 4 years + Capital Gain
= 40 * 4 + (928.921783238 - 906.06)
= 182.86
Yield % = 182.86 / 906.06
= 20.18%
