O'Brien Ltd.'s outstanding bonds have a $1,000 par value, and they mature in 20 years. Their nominal yield to maturity is 8.75%, they pay interest semiannually, and they sell at a price of $900. What is the bond's nominal (annual) coupon interest rate?
K = Nx2 |
Bond Price =∑ [(Semi Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM/2)^k] + Par value/(1 + YTM/2)^Nx2 |
k=1 |
K =20x2 |
900 =∑ [(Coupon rate*1000/200)/(1 + 8.75/200)^k] + 1000/(1 + 8.75/200)^20x2 |
k=1 |
Coupon rate% = 7.68 |
