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.

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.

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.
If the yield curve is downward sloping what is the ytm on a 10 year Treasury coupon bond relative to that on a 1 year T-bond?
If the yield curve is downward sloping, the yield to maturity on a 10-year Treasury coupon bond relative to that on a 1 year T-bond is the yield on the 10 year bond. It will be less than the yield on a 1-year bond.Ê
