Current Yield for Annual Payments
Heath Food Corporation’s bonds have 22 years remaining to maturity. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and a yield to maturity of 8%. They pay interest annually and have a 12% coupon rate. What is their current yield? Round your answer to two decimal places.
_____%
Annual coupon=1000*12%=120
Hence current value=Annual coupon*Present value of annuity factor(8%,22)+$1000*Present value of discounting factor(8%,22)
=120*10.20074366+$1000*0.183940507
=$1408.03(Approx)
Hence current yield=Annual coupon/Current price
=(120/1408.03)=8.52%(Approx).
NOTE:
1.Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
=120[1-(1.08)^-22]/0.08
=120*10.20074366
2.Present value of discounting factor=1000/1.08^22
=$1000*0.183940507
