Find the current yield and capital gains yield. a. the current yield equals 4.15% and capital gains yield is 1.46% the current yield equals 5.38% and capital gains yield is 1.46% c. the current yield equals 4.15% and capital gains yield is 1.77% d. the current yield equals 3.54% and capital gains yield is 1·18% e, the current yield equals 5.38% and capital gains yield is 1.18%

Explanation / Answer

7 years left to maturity
Let face value be 1000
Price=89.09%*1000=890.9
Coupon semi-annual=3.7%*1000/2=18.5
Annual coupons=18.5*2=37
Current yield=annual coupons/price=37/890.9=4.1531%

price=18.5/(1+y/2)+18.5/(1+y/2)^2..........18.5/(1+y/2)^14+1000/(1+y/2)^14
=>890.9=18.5/(1+y/2)+18.5/(1+y/2)^2..........18.5/(1+y/2)^14+1000/(1+y/2)^14
=>y=5.6058%
or YTM=5.6058%

Hence, capital gains yield=ytm-current yield=5.61%-4.15%=1.46%
