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.

What is the difference between IRR and yield to maturity?
IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is a metric used in corporate finance to assess the relative value of projects. YTM (Yield to Maturity) is a metric used in bond analysis to determine the relative value of bond investments. Both are calculated the same way, by assuming that cash flows from the project/bond are consumed.
If a bond price increases what happens to yield 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.
The market interest rate related to a bond is also called the?
"Yield" or "YTM" ("Yield to Maturity")
A lower coupon bond has a higher relative price change than a higher coupon bond when?
YTM changes YTM changes
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.
Does the yield to maturity on a premium bond exceed the bond's coupon rate?
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.
What is the rate of return required by investors in the market for owning a bond called?
YTM
Why is the yield to maturity (YTM) of a discount bond greater than the bond's current yield?
The yield to maturity (YTM) of a discount bond is greater than the bond's current yield because the YTM takes into account the total return an investor would receive if they hold the bond until maturity, including the capital gain from buying the bond at a discount. The current yield only considers the annual interest payments relative to the bond's current price, without factoring in the potential gain from the bond reaching its full face value at maturity.
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
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%.
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.
Why if a bond price increases the yield of maturity decrease?
When a bond's price increases, its yield to maturity (YTM) decreases because YTM represents the return an investor can expect if they hold the bond until maturity. If the bond's price rises, the fixed interest payments (coupons) become a smaller percentage of the higher price, leading to a lower yield. Essentially, as the price paid for the bond increases, the effective return on that investment decreases relative to the fixed cash flows provided by the bond.
