You own a 23-year bond that pays 14 percent interest annually
You own a 23-year bond that pays 14 percent interest annually. The par value of the bond is $1,000 and the market price of the bond is $775. What is the yield to maturity of the bond? The yield to maturity of the bond is [%. (Round to two decimal places.)
Expert Solution
Par value or face value =1000
Price of bond = 775
coupon amount = face value*coupon rate annual
=1000*14%
=140
years to maturity (n)=23
Bond price formula = Coupon amount * (1 - (1/(1+i)^n)/i + face value/(1+i)^n
775 = 140*(1-(1/(1+i)^23))/i + 1000/(1+i)^23
Yield to maturity is that rate where bond price will be equal to current market price. We will calculate it by trial and error method and interpolation formula
Assume i is 18%
Price of bond =140*(1-(1/(1+18%)^23))/18% + 1000/(1+18%)^23
=782.7152119
Assume i is 18.4%
Price of bond =140*(1-(1/(1+18.4%)^23))/18.4% + 1000/(1+18.4%)^23
765.7848162
interpolation formula = lower rate +((uper rate - lower rate)*(Uper price - bond actual price)/(uper price - lower price))
18% +((18.4%-18%)*(782.7152119-775)/(782.7152119-765.7848162))
=0.181822807 or 18.18%
So Yield to maturity of bond is 18.18%
Note:
Excel function = rate(number of periods, coupon payment,-bond price, face value)
=rate(23,140,-775,1000)
=18.18%
