A bond that pays 1 coupon(s) of 10% per year, that has a market value of $1,102.05, and that matures in 19 years will have a yield to maturity of 8.87%. What does it mean? Well, bond investors don't just buy only newly issued bonds (on the primary market) but can also buy previously issued bonds from other investors (on the secondary market). Depending on whether a bond on the secondary market is bought at a discount or premium, the actual rate of return can be greater or lower than the quoted annual coupon rate. This is why bond investors need to look at YTM, which measures the bond's yield from the day the investor buys it to the day it expires, when the principal is paid to the bondholder.
The issuer will call the bonds and issue new bonds to the maturity date.
If the 2 5 years are exactly the same with the exception of having coupons (same lender, same claims, same everything) then yes you should be able to. The trick is finding the right yield curve and discounting everything back to the present value. The coupons can be treated as mini zero-coupon bonds in their own right.
There's one main difference and it's huge: An option contract gives the person who buys it the privilege of doing whatever it is the contract is written for. A futures contract imposes an obligation on the buyer. There are also liquidity requirements and requirements to pay performance bonds in futures trading that don't exist in options trading, but the real basic difference is that an options buyer can do something and a futures trader has to.
No......The price of the bonds will be less than par or 1,000.....

When the yield of a bond exceeds it coupon rate, the price will be below 'par' which is usually $100.
Coupons, face amount, maturity value and maturity rate all are associated with bonds. Coupons are a type of bond and the face amount tells how much the coupon is worth until it matures, gaining interest.
Zero coupon bonds do not pay interest and are therefore sold at a steep discount to face value depending on the maturity date of the bond. Due to the time value of money, the discount on a 30 year zero coupon bond will be much greater than on a 10 year zero coupon bond. At maturity bondholders will receive the full face value of the bond which provides bondholders a return. For example, a 30 year zero coupon bond with a face value of $1,000 and sold for $500 would return a $500 profit after 30 years. Holders of zero coupon bonds can sell the bonds at any time before maturity. If an investor bought zero coupon bonds prior to a steep drop in interest rates, the value of the zero coupon bonds would increase and could be sold at a profit.
Premium bonds offer higher interest rates than bonds sold at par. However, there is a premium cost that one must pay. Don't let that deter you, as the extra interest should more than pay the premium when the bond reaches maturity. The other benefit of Premium bonds is that they are less volatile than par bonds.
* yield to worst (to maturity or to call date) * current yield * coupon yield
Coupon - periodical cash payment Corpus or Face Value - amount paid at maturity
if a bond has finite maturity or limited maturity then we must consider not only the interest rate stream but also the maturity value (face value).regardsSajida Gul
The bond price exceeds the par price when issued at a premium and declines to the par value as it gets closer to maturity.
The advantage of buying zero-coupon bonds is that when they reach maturity, the investor then receives the full face value of the bond. These bonds became popular in the 1980's even though they were first released in the 1960's.
It changes when the issuer does not have the money to pay back the principal and wants to still give out coupon on the bonds.
