Answer:
current yield 8.2089552%
YTM = 8.05%
effective annual yield = 4.92%
Explanation:
(A)
current yield = C/P
coupon payment / market price
8.8/107.2 = 0.082089552 = 8.2089552%
(B)
First par being the present value of the coupon payment and second the redeem of the face value at the end of the bond.
market price 107.2
face value 100
time = 19
rate 8.8%
C = annual coupon payment 100 x 8.8% = 8.8
You solve this using a financial calculation and get the semiannual rate
YTM/2 = 0.040268160
then multiply by 2 to get the annual YTM
0.040268160 x 2 =
YTM = 0.08053632 = 8.05%
(C)
Effective Annual Yield
where:
Holding period return:
In this case:
coupon payment + redem - investment = net return
8.8 * 19 + 100 - 107.2 = 160
160/107.2 = 1.492537313
Then
EAY = 0.049242509 = 4.9242509%
