Summary Introduction
To determine: The yield to maturity
Introduction:
A bond refers to the debt securities issued by the governments or corporations for raising capital. The borrower does not return the face value until maturity. However, the investor receives the coupons every year until the date of maturity.
Yields refer to the return on the investment made by an investor. A bond yield refers to the return earned by the investor on the bond, if he or she holds the bond until the bond matures.

Problem 07.050 - IRR of high-interest bond During recessionary periods, bonds that were issued many years ago have a higher coupon rate than currently issued bonds. Therefore, they may sell at a premium, a price higher than their face value, because of currently low coupon rates. A $50,000 bond that was issued 15 years ago is for sale for $56,000. What rate of return per year will a purchaser make if the bond coupon rate is 15% per year payable semi-annually, and the bond is due 5 years from now?
3. Asea Brown Boveri (ABB Group) Bond has a coupon rate of 14%. Caterpillar Bond has a coupon rate of 6%. Both bonds have 20 years to maturity, a par value of $1,000 and a YTM of 10% and both make semiannual payments. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2%, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds? Instead, if rates suddenly fall by 2%, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds? As interest rates fall by 2%, which of the two bonds would you prefer to own. Explain briefly, why?
2a. Last year a firm issued 20-year, 8% annual coupon bonds at a par value of $1,000. Suppose that one year later the going market interest rate drops to 6%.
What is the new price of the bonds assuming that they now have 19 years to maturity?
2b. Suppose that one year after issue, the going market interest rate is 10% (rather than 6%). What would the price have been?
