Question

if, after one year, the yield to maturity on a multiyear coupon bond that was issued at par is lower than the coupon rate, what happened to the price of the bond during that first year?

Answer 1

When the YTM is lower than the bond's coupon rate, the bond's market value exceeds its par value (premium bond). Bonds are selling at a discount if their coupon rate is smaller than their YTM. A bond is trading at par if its coupon rate is equal to its yield to maturity (YTM).

What is the cost of a $1,000 par value, three year, zero-coupon bond?

(a) A three-year zero-coupon bond with a face value of $1,000 would have a present value (or price) of 874.69 with a yield of 4.564 percent.

What is the yield to maturity on a discount bond with a $1000 face value that will mature in a year and sell for $800?

The yield to maturity is determined using the following formula with the current price of $800: 800 = 1000 / (yield to maturity plus one) Yield to maturity Equals 1 plus yield.  Yield until maturity equals 25%
