Yield to maturity assumes that the bond is held up to the maturity date. This is a disadvantage. If the bond is a yield to call , it can be called prior to the maturity date. Thus, the ivestor should sell the callable bond prior to maturity if he expects that he will earn higer return by doing so (in other words when yeild to call is higher than held to maturity).
The YTM on a Bond versus it's Price is inversely related. Thus when the Price of the Bond Increases, the YTM Decreases.
When the yield of a bond exceeds it coupon rate, the price will be below 'par' which is usually $100.
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.

Par Value
Examine the bond carefully. Some bonds have the value printed on them. If the bond has reached its full maturity, this is the value of your bond. If there is no value on it, you can take it to a bond specialist and have it appraised.
"Bullet" means all of the principal (Face Value) is paid at maturity. This is the most common type and also referred to as a "Straight bond". An "Amortising bond" is one where the face value is paid back progressively over the life.
The yield to maturity will be 5% since both Face Value and Redemption value are same. If you purchase the bond for 95 or 105 your yield to maturity will change than what the coupon rate is.
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
A zero-coupon bond is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value, with the face value repaid at the time of maturity. It does not make periodic interest payments, or have so-called "coupons," hence the term zero-coupon bond.
An accrual bond is a fixed-interest bond which is issued at face value and repaid at the end of the maturity period along with the accrued interest.
You would need to know a Yield To Maturity to answer this question.
Bonds are valued by discounting the coupon payments and the final repayment by the yield to maturity on comparable bonds. The bond payments discounted at the bond’s yield to maturity equal the bond price. You may also start with the bond price and ask what interest rate the bond offers. This interest rate that equates the present value of bond payments to the bond price is the yield to maturity. Because present values are lower when discount rates are higher, price and yield to maturity vary inversely.
Nope it doesn't you suck
