Answer:

Ans. YTM=8.9805%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, first we need to determine the coupon for every semester and construct a table in order to use the "IRR" function of microsoft excel. Everything should look like this.

face value       $1.000  

Price                $1.100  

time                               15 years to maturity

coupon                     10% annual

                              5% semi annual

coupon(semi anual)   $50  

 

0 -$1.100    

1  $50    

2  $50    

3  $50    

4  $50    

5  $50    

6  $50    

7  $50    

8  $50    

9  $50    

10  $50    

11  $50    

12  $50    

13  $50    

14  $50    

15  $50    

16  $50    

17  $50    

18  $50    

19  $50    

20  $50    

21  $50    

22  $50    

23  $50    

24  $50    

25  $50    

26  $50    

27  $50    

28  $50    

29  $50    

30  $1.050    

There are 30 periods since the coupon is to be paid semi annually, the coupon is calculated as follows.

Coupon=FaceValue(\frac{Coupon Rate(annual)}{2} )=1000\frac{0.1}{2} =50

Notice that the value of period 0 is -1100, corresponds to the amount of money paid for the bond and is negative because, well, we paid for it. This is very important because when you use the IRR formula of MS Excel, it requires at least 1 change of sign to work properly.

So the answer at this point is 4.3937% but remember that the cash flow took place in a semi-annual fashion, therefore, we have to make it annual, this is the math to that.

YTM(annual)=(1+YTM(semi annual))^{2} -1=(1+0.043937)^{2} -1=8.9805% annual

Best of luck.

Drag expressions into order to show a way to find 3 × 56.
lina2011 [118]
As we could "drag" these together, we could then do it the easy way.

  56
+56
+56
-------
168
------------------------

Or we could also do the following:

56*3:

6*3= 18.

Carry the one. 

5*3 = 15+1 (which was carried). = 16

(16+8) = 168

Find a solution to the following system of equations. –5x + y = –5 –4x + 2y = 2
Arte-miy333 [17]
-5x + y = -5.....multiply by -2
-4x + 2y = 2
---------------
10x - 2y = 10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-4x + 2y = 2
-----------------add
6x = 12
x = 12/6
x = 2

-5x + y = -5
-5(2) + y = -5
-10 + y = -5
y = -5 + 10
y = 5

solution is (2,5)
