Expert Solution
(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
