Answer:
Renfro Corporation
The bond's yield to maturity is:
= 0.067
The bond's current yield is:
= 0.073
The bond's capital gains yield is:
= -0.006
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Maturity period of bonds = 10 years
Face value of the bonds = $1,000
Coupon rate = 8% paid semiannually
Price of the bonds = $1,100
Yield to maturity (YTM) = (C + {(FV - PV)/t})/{(FV + PV)/2}
where C = Coupon interest = $80 ($1,000 * 8%)
FV = Face value of the bonds
PV = Present value or price of the bonds
t = number of years
YTM = ($80 + {($1,000 - $1,100)/10})/{($1,000 + $1,100)/2}
= ($80 + {(-$100)/10})/{($2,100)/2}
= ($80 + $-10/$1,050
= $70/$1,050 = 0.06667
= 0.067
Current Yield = Annual interest/Price
= $80/$1,100
= 0.073
Capital gains yield = YTM - Current Yield
= 0.067 - 0.073
= -0.006
