Given about Niendorf Corporation's bond,
year to maturity = 25 years
coupon rate = 8.75% paid semiannually
Face value = $1000
Semiannual coupon payment = (8.75%/2) of 1000 = $43.75
current price of the bond = $1150
So, Yield to maturity of the bond can be calculated on financial calculator using following values:
FV = 1000
PV = -1150
N = 2*25 = 50
PMT = 43.75
Compute for I/Y, we get I/Y = 3.71
So, semiannual yield = 3.71%
So, Yield to maturity of the bond = 2*3.71 = 7.42%
