Explanation / Answer

(1)YIELD TO MATURITY(YTM)=(I+(F-P)/N)/(F+P)/2

WHERE,I=INTEREST=0

F=FACEVALUE=$1,000

P=CURRENT PRICE=$514

SO,YTM=((1,000-514)/N)/(1,000+514)/2

=37.38/757=0.0494

=0.05

(2)CALCULATION OF CURRENT BOND PRICE

APPLYING FORMULA,

CURRENT BOND PRICE=COUPON AMOUNT *PVIFA(YTM,NO.OF YEARS)

LET FACE VALUE OF BOND =$100

COUPON AMOUNT=$100*5.2%=$5.2

CURRENT BOND PRICE=5.2PVIFA(7.6%,4)

=5.2*3.342

=$17.3784

=$17.38

(3)YTM=

(I+(F-P)/N)/(F+P)/2

WHERE,I=INTEREST=$6.8

F=FACEVALUE=LET IT BE $100

P=CURRENT PRICE=$90.5

N =YEARS TO MATURITY=18 YEARS

YTM=(6.8+(100-90.5)/18)/(100+90.5)/2

=(6.8+0.5278)/95.25

=0.077

=0.08
