4. Maria Inc. has a $1,000 par value bond that is currently selling for $1,267.53. it has an annual coupon rate of 9.35%, paid semi annually, and has 18 years remaining until maturity. What is the annual yield to maturity on the bond if you purchased the bond today and hold it until maturity? answer in percentage form
Explanation / Answer
1) i = 5.94% / 2 = .0297
n = 23 * 2 = 46
Coupon = 1000 * 5.84% / 2 = 29.2
Bond price = 29.2*(1-(1+.0297)^-46)/.0297 + 1000/1.0297^46
= 987.55
4) YTM (Using excel based formula):
= =RATE(36,93.5/2,-1267.53,1000)
= 3.38%
Annual rate = 3.38% *2 = 6.76%
