1. What is the effective annual yield of a bond that promised an annual yield of 7.5% if this bond pays coupons twice a year?
PLEASE TYPE IT OUT
Effective annual yield is the yield, what investor would receive if semi annual coupons(or any part of year) reinvested at normal annual yield.
Suppose, Face value of Bond = $ 1
annual yield = 7.5%
thus, semi annual yield (i) = 7.5%/2 = 3.75%
and semi annual coupon payments(n) = 2
Therefore, Effective annual yield in above case would be 7.640625%
