(Expected rate of return and current yield) Time Warner has bonds that are selling for $ 1352. The coupon interest rate on the bonds is 11.60 percent and they mature in 26 years. What is the yield to maturity on the bonds? What is the current yield?
Sol:
Face value (FV) = $1000
Present value (PV) = $1352
Coupon rate (PMT = 11.60%, Annual coupon payment = 1000 x 11.60% $116
Period (NPER) = 26 years
To determine yield to maturity we can use RATE function in excel:
Current yield = Annual coupon payment / Bond price
FV | 1000 |
PV | 1352 |
PMT | 116 |
NPER | 26 |
Yield to Maturity | 8.27% |
Current yield | 8.58% |
Therefore Yield to maturity on the Bond is 8.27% and Current yield is 8.58%
