A Treasury bond with 12 years to maturity is currently quoted at 112:12. The bond has a coupon rate of 10.7 percent. What is the yield value (IN BASIS POINTS) of a 32nd for this bond?
Face value | $100 | |||
Coupen annually | 10.70% | |||
Coupen amount | $10.70 | |||
Maturity | 12 years | |||
Bond Price | $112.12 | |||
YTM : | ||||
Price of bond = | Coupen * PVAF( YTM, Maturity) + Redemption value * PVF( YTM,Maturity) | |||
Here bond price is more than face value hence YTM be less than Coupen rate | ||||
Therefore lets assume YTM be 9% | ||||
Price of bond = | 10.70*PVAF(9%,12) + 100*PVF(9%,12) | |||
10.70*7.160+100*.355 | ||||
$ 112.112 |
it is closes to $112.12 therefore YTM = 9%
