Is current Market Rate of Interest the same as yield to maturity?
It depends. YTM is calculated in the same way as IRR. You take all future cash flows and discout it by x% and equate to current market price. Then you solve for x% and what you get will be YTM. So if current price of bond is calculated by current market rate of interest than YTM=Current Market Rate of Interest. How ever bond price not always is equal to that price. Very often current yield(coupon/current market price) is different from current rate of interest. In such case YTM will differ from Current Market Rate of Interest.
Cutler Co issued 11-year bonds a year ago at a coupon rate of 7.8 percent The bonds make semiannual payments If the YTM on these bonds is 8.6 percent what is the current bond price?
bond price= 78/2[(1-(1+0.086/2)-11/2)/(0.086/2)]+ 1000/(1+0.086)11/2=

What is the current price of a 1000 par value bond with 6 interest rate for 20 years?
A 5% bond was purchased at $1150 and the maturity is 15 years. Calculating YTM would be based on all of this information. The total premium amount is $150 - divided over 15 years would give you $10 per year. That is the amount that is basically lost each year on the price - if held to maturity. The way the formula is calculated is you take the yearly real interest - which is $50 and then subtract the lost above par yearly price of $10. This leaves you with a real yearly return of $40. Then divide $40 by the average price of the bond during it's life. Since par ($1000) is the redemption price and $1150 was the price that was paid - the median price would be $1075. So $40 divided by $1075 would be the YTM = 3.72% Discount bonds are calculated the same way - except the yearly discount is added on to the nominal interest payments. This would result in a higher YTM calculation.
Will a bond's Yield to Maturity increase or decrease if there is a change in the bankruptcy code that makes it more difficult for bondholders to receive payments if the firm declares bankruptcy?
Assuming that this situation occurs after the Bond is issued and is trading in the secondary market. All things being equal, if the change is not already factored into the price or yield of the bond it would increase the YTM. However, for a AAA rated bond the increase will be much lesser than the increase on a low rated bond. Typic ally for a low rated bond the increase in YTM wouldn't matter much since the liquidity of it would decrease sharply if the firm were to go bankrupt.
Price and Yield- An 8 percent semiannual coupon matures in 5 years The bond has a face value of 1000 and a current yield of 8.21 percent What are the bonds price and YTM?
The bond's price is $996.76. The YTM is 8.21%. by E. Sanchez
Nighthawk Co issued 15 year bonds one year ago at a coupon rate of 8.4 percent The bonds make semiannual payments If these bonds currently sell for 96 percent of par value what is the YTM?
Using TI84plus got R=7.43 (aprox) YTM=2*7.43% YTM=14.86%

How does the yield to maturity on a bond differ from the coupon yield or current yield?
The rate of return anticipated on a bond if held until the end of its lifetime. YTM is considered a long-term bond yield expressed as an annual rate. The YTM calculation takes into account the bond's current market price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity. It is also assumed that all coupon payments are reinvested at the same rate as the bond's current yield. YTM is a complex but accurate calculation of a bond's return that helps investors compare bonds with different maturities and coupons.

How is the IRR on a project related to the YTM on a bond?
The IRR on a project is calculated in the same way the YTM on a bond is. Both methods discount the future cash flows of the investment back to the present value and compare them with the appropriate amount; in the case of a bond, it is its current market price while in the case of the IRR method it is zero. The internal rate of return and the yield to maturity are the discount rates that make the present value of expected cash flows equal to the left side of the equation.

If a bond price increases what happens to yield to maturity?
