Yield to Call- Five year’s ago, Wyatt Corporation sold a 25-year bond issue with a 12% annual coupon rate and an 6% call premium. TODAY, they called the bonds. The bonds were originally sold at their face or par value of $1,000. Compute the realized rate or return, I/Y, for an investor who purchased the bond WHEN it was issued and who surrenders it today at the CALL price.
Since bond is issued 5 years ago and called today i.e. Period of holding | ||||||
is 5 years | ||||||
PV | $ 1,000 | Issued price | always used with - sign | |||
par value | $ 1,000 | |||||
Call value(FV) | $ 1,060 | maturity
value (1000 x 106%) |
||||
PMT | 120 | (1000 x12%) | ||||
NPER | 5 | Yrs | ||||
Rate(I/Y) | 12.93% | |||||
=RATE(5,120,-1000,1060) | ||||||
So the realized rate of return for investor is 12.93% that is above its coupon rate. |
