Answer:

2.11%

YTM 0.089142162

YTC 0.068070103

Difference: 0.021072059 = 0.0211 = 2.11%

Explanation:

To calculate each rate we must solve for a rate at which the future coupon payment and maturity (or call value) equals the market price:

This is solve for excel and goal seek tool

It could also be solve with a financial calculator

YTC:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

Coupon payment: $ 120

time 5 yeaars

rate 0.068070103 (solved with excel)

120 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0680701028057608)^{-5} }{0.0680701028057608} = PV\\

PV $494.5766

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity: $ 1,050 (call price)

time   5.00

rate  0.068070103

\frac{1050}{(1 + 0.0680701028057608)^{5} } = PV  

PV   755.42

PV c $494.5766

PV m  $755.4235

Total $1,250.0002

YTM:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

Cuopon payment: $ 120

time 15 years

rate 0.089142162 (solved with excel)

120 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0891421622982136)^{-15} }{0.0891421622982136} = PV\\

PV $972.2006

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity $ 1,000.00

time   15 years

rate  0.089142162 (solved with excel)

\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.0891421622982136)^{15} } = PV  

PV   277.80

PV c $972.2006

PV m  $277.7995

Total $1,250.0001
