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%.

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.

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.
