The coupon rate is the fixed annual interest payment a bondholder receives based on the bond's face value, while the yield to maturity (YTM) represents the total return anticipated on a bond if held until its maturity, factoring in the bond's current market price, coupon payments, and time to maturity. When a bond's market price is below its face value, the YTM is higher than the coupon rate, indicating a better return for investors. Conversely, if the bond's market price is above its face value, the YTM is lower than the coupon rate. Therefore, the relationship between the two is inversely related to the bond's market price.

When the yield of a bond exceeds it coupon rate, the price will be below 'par' which is usually $100.
No, the yield to maturity (YTM) on a premium bond does not exceed the bond's coupon rate. A premium bond is sold for more than its face value, which means the YTM will be lower than the coupon rate because the investor will receive the fixed coupon payments but will incur a loss when the bond matures and is redeemed at face value. Thus, the YTM reflects this lower return compared to the coupon rate.
When a bond's yield to maturity (YTM) is less than its coupon rate, the bond is trading at a premium. This means that investors are willing to pay more than the bond's face value because the coupon payments are more attractive compared to current market interest rates. As a result, the bondholder receives higher periodic interest payments than what is available in the market, making the bond more valuable. Over time, the bond's price will decrease as it approaches maturity, aligning its yield with the prevailing market rates.
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 difference in coupon frequency between a monthly CD and a CD that reaches maturity is that a monthly CD pays interest monthly, while a CD that reaches maturity pays interest only when it matures.
The coupon frequency at maturity for this investment is the number of times per year that the coupon payments are made until the investment reaches its maturity date.
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.
Yield usually refers to yield to maturity. If a bond is trading at par it usually means the yield to maturity is equal to the coupon.

Yes. At maturity you get the final coupon payment in addition to the return of principal.
A zero-coupon note is a note which pays at maturity the value of the note with no separate interest payments.

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.
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 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.
