A 5% bond was purchased at $1150 and the maturity is 15 years. Calculating YTM would be based on all of this information. The total premium amount is $150 - divided over 15 years would give you $10 per year. That is the amount that is basically lost each year on the price - if held to maturity.

The way the formula is calculated is you take the yearly real interest - which is $50 and then subtract the lost above par yearly price of $10. This leaves you with a real yearly return of $40. Then divide $40 by the average price of the bond during it's life. Since par ($1000) is the redemption price and $1150 was the price that was paid - the median price would be $1075.

So $40 divided by $1075 would be the YTM = 3.72%

Discount bonds are calculated the same way - except the yearly discount is added on to the nominal interest payments. This would result in a higher YTM calculation.

What is the cost in 4 years time if the average cost for a new midsized car is about USD 31000 and new car prices tend to go up about 2 percent every year?

If the price increases by 2% each it will be 100 % of the old price + 2 % of the old price = 102 % of the old price each year percent means "out of 100" → 102 % = 102/100 = 102 ÷ 100 = 1.02 Thus to find the price next year, take the price this year and multiply it by 1.02 To find the price after 1 year, multiply the current price by 1.02 giving price after 1 year ≈ current price × 1.02 To find the price after 2 years, multiply the price after 1 year by 1.02, giving: price after 2 years ≈ price after 1 year × 1.02 = current price × 1.02 × 1.02 = current price × 1.02² To find the price after 3 years, multiply the price after 2 years by 1.02, giving: price after 3 years ≈ price after 2 years × 1.02 = current price × 1.02² × 1.02 = current price × 1.02³ From this it can be seen that the price after n years ≈ current price × 1.02ⁿ Thus for the car which starts at $31,000: price after n years ≈ $31,000 × 1.02ⁿ Therefore after 4 years the price will be approx 31,000 × 1.02⁴ ≈ $33,555
