Suppose the following bond quote for IOU Corporation appears in the financial page of today’s newspaper. Assume the bond has a face value of $1,000, it makes semiannual interest payments, and the current date is April 15, 2019.
Company (Ticker) | Coupon | Maturity | Last Price | Last Yield | EST Vol (000s) |
IOU (IOU) | 6.6 | Apr 15, 2035 | 104.06 | ??? | 1,839 |
What is the yield to maturity of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
What is the current yield? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
K = Nx2 |
Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k] + Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2 |
k=1 |
K =16x2 |
1040.6 =∑ [(6.6*1000/200)/(1 + YTM/200)^k] + 1000/(1 + YTM/200)^16x2 |
k=1 |
YTM% = 6.2 |
current yield = coupon rate*par value/current price |
Current yield%=(6.6/100)*1000/1040.6 |
Current yield% = 6.34 |
