Expert Solution

a). Computation of the yield to maturity :-

Number of periods = 3*2 = 6 periods (semiannual)

Coupon payment = 100*5.50%/2 = 2.75

PV = 98.14

FV = 100

Lets put the value in calculator:

Mode = END

N= 4

P/Y = 2

C/Y = 2

PMT = 2.75

PV = 98.14

FV = 100

CPT - I/Y = 6.19%

Or you can calculate the yield to maturity by using excel formula:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)*2

= rate(6,2.75,-98.14,100)*2

= 6.19%

 

b). Computation of the yield to maturity :-

Number of periods = 11 periods

Coupon payment = 100*12.10% = 12.10

PV = 139.20

FV = 100

Lets put the value in calculator:

Mode = END

N= 11

P/Y = 1

C/Y = 1

PMT = 12.10

PV = 139.20

FV = 100

CPT - I/Y = 6.90%

Or you can calculate the yield to maturity by using excel formula:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

= rate(11,12.10,-139.20,100)

= 6.90%
