Question

Suppose that Ford issues a coupon bonds at a price of $1,000, which is the same as the bond's par value. Assume the bond has a coupon rate of 4.5%, pays the coupon once per year, and has a maturity of 20 years. If an investor purchased this bond at the price of $1,000, for each year except the last year, the investor would receive a payment of 45. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar) When the bond matures, t investor would receive a final payment of $1045. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.) Now suppose the price of the bond changes to $1, 060. Assuming an investor purchased the bond at a price of $1, 060, the investor would receive a current yield equal to ()

Answer 1

Answer:

YTM approximated 4.08%

Explanation:

If the price of the bond changes to 1,060

we will need to calcualte the YTM

we could do it with an approxmation method like this:

$YTM = \frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n }}{\frac{F+P}{2}}$

Cuopon payment =1,000 x 4.5% = 45

Face value       = 1,000

Purchase value= 1,060

n= 20 years

quotient 4.0776699%

It will yield approximately 4.08%
