Tyson, Inc

Finance Mar 30, 2021

Tyson, Inc. issued a 20-year bond which is callable in 13 years. It has a coupon rate of 8.25% payable semiannually, has a call premium of $120, and is currently selling for $918. What is the yield to call? (The face value of the bond is $1000.) 
a) 9.35%

b) 9.86%

c) 9.15%

d) 9.07% 
 

Expert Solution

We can calculate the yield to call by using the following formula in excel:-

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

Here,

Rate = yield to call (semiannual)

Nper = 13*2 = 26 periods (semiannual)

Pmt = Coupon payment = $1,000*8.25%/2 = $41.25

PV = $918

FV = Call price = $1,000+$120 = $1,120

Substituting the values in formula:

= rate(26,41.25,-918,1120)

= 4.93%

Yield to call = Rate * 2

= 4.93% * 2

= 9.86%

Hence, the correct option is b) 9.86%
