Question 2 Today you purchase a 9-year bond at a YTM of 11%. The bond pays coupons annually and has a coupon rate of 9%. What is your 1-year rate of return if you sell the bond 1-year from now at a YTM of 11%. Input your answer in decimals, not percent. Answer to 4 decimal places, for example 0.1234.
Let Par Value = 1000
Maturity =9
YTM = 11%
Coupon = 9%*1000 =90
Price of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value =
90*(1-(1+11%)-9)/11% + 1000/(1+11%)9 =
889.26
Maturity after 1 year = 9-1 = 8
YTM after 1 year =11%
Price of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Par Value =
90*(1-(1+11%)-8)/11% + 1000/(1+11%)8 =
897.08
Return = (897.08-889.26+90)/889.26 = 0.1100 or 11%
I feel there is now an error in YTM in the question. Answer might
need change
