Ngata Corp. issued 18-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 9.5 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds
currently sell for 105 percent of par value, what is the YTM
1 answer:
Answer:
8.91%
Explanation:
In this question We applied the Rate formula which is presented in the attachment below:
Data given in the question
PMT = 1,000 × 9.5% ÷ 2 = $47.50
NPER = 18 years - 2 years × 2 = 32 years
Present value = $1000 × 105% = $1,050
Assuming figure - Future value = $1,000
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this, the yield to maturity is 8.91%

Incomplete question. The options read:
a. 5.16
b. 5.35
c. 5.56
d. 5.77
e. 5.99
Answer:
<u>b. 5.35</u>
Explanation:
Remember, we use the Macaulay duration to determine the weighted average time before any bondholder would start to receive their expected bond's cash flows.
Hence, using the formula attached below, we could find the Macaulay duration for this scenario. In the above formula, where:
C= the periodic coupon payment
y= the periodic yield
M= the bond’s maturity value
n= duration of bond in periods.
However, another way to get a solution is to employ an advanced calculator.
