Question

A 15-year bond with a 10% annual coupon (interest paid semiannually) has a par value of $1,000. The bond will have a yield-to-call of 6.5% if it is called after 10 years at a call price of $1,050. If the bond is not called, what is its yield-to-maturity?

Expert Solution
Step 1

  Bond valuation is a method of finding the fair value of the bond. Fair value means the present value of of the cash flows that it is expected to generate. Yield to maturity means the return generated from an instrument at its maturity. It is used for computing the income earned by the investor. 

Market price=t=1nC1+YTMt+F1+YTMt

Where,

C        = Coupon payment

F        = Face value

YTM = Yield to maturity
