(a)

N = 5

FV = 1000

COUPON = 8%

1. PV = 811

YTM = C+ (F-P) / N / (F+P)/2

= (80 + (1000 - 811) / 5) / (811+1000)/2

= 13.43%

2. PV = 1,128

YTM = C +(F-P) / N / (F+P)/2

= (80 + (1000 - 1,128) / 5) / (1,128+1000)/2

= 5.04%

B.

III. YOU WOULD NOT BUY THE BOND AS LONG AS THE YIELD TO MATURITY AT THIS PRICE IS LESS THAN THE COUPON RATE OF RETURN
