Answer:
Current yield is 6.17%
<em>YTD is 5.43%</em>
<em>YTC is 4.26%</em>
Explanation:
Tenor: 15 years
-> number of payment (NPer) is 30 (= 15 years * 2 for semiannual)
Coupon rate: 7.4%
- > semiannual payments (PMT): $37 = ($1000*7.4%/2)
Future value (FV): $1000
Present value (PV): $1200
Current yield = annual coupon/ current price = $37*2/$1200 = 6.17%
<u>Extra: </u>
We use excel to calculate yield to date (YTD) or nominal yield:
= Rate(Nper, PMT, - PV,FV) = Rate(30,37,-1200,1000) = 2.717% semiannual
-> annual rate is 5.43%
The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,074, then FV is $1074
Yield to call = rate(10,37,-1200,1074) = 2.13% semiannual
-> annual rate is 4.26%
