YTM= 6.602% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ : I got a different answer, I got YTM 6.67% : 80 - 10 (80 coupon -100 cap loss / 10 years) : __________________ : 1,110 + 1,000 / 2 (purchase price + 1,000 par /2) : therefore, 70 / 1,050 = 6.67% (rounded) the formula for YTM is:

Coupon Rate + Cap gain OR - Cap loss (subtract for a premium bond as seen here)

____________________________ (divided by...)

Purchase Price + 1,000 par / 2 you'll get a decimal answer which you can x by 100 to get the decimal in the right place, then round. example, 0.066666 x 100 = 6.66666 round to 6.67%. It's not as complicated as it looks, just memorize the formula =) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Difference between coupon rate and yield to maturity?

The coupon rate is the actually stated interest rate. This is the rate earned on a NEW issue bond. The yield to maturity takes into consideration the purchase price of a bond bought in the secondary market. For example, if you buy a $1,000 bond for $1100 which matures in 10 years and has a coupon of 5%, your coupon is 5%, but your yield to maturity would be closer to 4% because you paid $1100, but will only get back $1,000 at maturity (losing $100). The "loss" reduces the return.

How do bondholders get a return on zero coupon bonds?

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.

What 1000 bond with a 4.5 coupon that matures in 30 years. What are Ivan's total earnings for this bond when it reaches its maturity date?

Ivan's total earnings from the $1,000 bond with a 4.5% coupon that matures in 30 years would include both the interest payments and the principal amount. The annual interest payment is $45 (4.5% of $1,000), which he will receive each year for 30 years, totaling $1,350 in interest. At maturity, he will also receive the principal amount of $1,000. Therefore, Ivan's total earnings at maturity will be $1,350 (interest) + $1,000 (principal) = $2,350.

What duration does a 1 year corporated bond with a 5 percent coupon have relative to a t bill?

That would depend on the yield and the coupon frequency, but assuming the corporate bond and T-Bill have the same maturity (1 year) and the bond pays a semi-annual coupon, while the T-Bill pays all at maturity and has a lower yield that the bond, the duration on the corporate bond would be (slightly) lower. As an example; 1) A T-bill with 1 year Maturity an a yield of 0.20% would have a Modified Duration (the best to use) of close to 1.00 2) A 'Par' Corporate bond with a 5% semi-annual coupon would have a Modified Durationof 0.96 years. This effect will be more prominent with longer maturity bonds.


If a firm issued a bond today with a 1000 face value an 8 percent coupon rate a 25 year maturity and a rating of AA and you purchase the bond for 900 what is the YTM?

To calculate the Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the bond, we use the formula that equates the present value of future cash flows (coupon payments and face value) to the current price of the bond. The bond has an annual coupon payment of $80 (8% of $1,000) and a face value of $1,000 at maturity in 25 years. Since you purchased the bond for $900, the YTM will be higher than the coupon rate due to the discount. The exact YTM can be calculated using a financial calculator or spreadsheet, yielding approximately 9.06%.
