30

31
Q

What is the yield actually earned or “realized” on a bond?

A

The realized yield

32
Q

What is the realized yield is almost never equal to?

A

33
Q

What is the formula to find PMT?

A

Face value x coupon rate

34
Q

In what two instances is a bond considered a par bond?

A
  1. Bond selling price(PV) = face value(1000)

2. YTM(I) = coupon rate

35
Q

In what two instances is a bond considered a discount bond?

A
  1. Bond selling price(PV) < face value(1000)

2. YTM(I) > coupon rate

36
Q

In what two instances is a bond considered a premium bond?

A
  1. Bond selling price(PV) > face value(1000)

2. YTM(I) < coupon rate

37
Q

How do you calculate N if the coupon bond is semiannually?

38
Q

How do you calculate I if the coupon bond is semiannually?

39
Q

How do you calculate PMT if the coupon bond is semiannually?

40
Q

Find the price of a semiannual coupon bond given that the coupon rate = 7%, the face value = $1000, the required return = 6%, and there are 5 years remaining until maturity.

  1. Calculate N
  2. Calculate I
  3. Calculate PMT
A
  1. N = 5 x 2 = 10
  2. I = 6% / 2 = 3%
  3. PMT = (1000 x 7%) / 2 = 35
41
Q

Solve the problem:

Find the yield to maturity on a semiannual coupon bond given that the bond price = $1111, the coupon rate = 10%, the face value = $1000, and there are 8 years remaining until maturity.

A 
N = 8 x 2 = 16
PV = 1111
PMT = (1000 x 10%) / 2 = 50
FV = 1000

I = 4.04% x 2 = 8.09%

42
Q

Solve the problem:

Find the coupon rate on a semiannual coupon bond given that the bond price = $1111, the yield of maturity = 10%, the face value = $1000, and there are 8 years remaining until maturity.

A 
N = 16
I = 10/2 = 5%
PV = 1111(-)
FV = 1,000
PMT = (60.24 x 2) / 1000
PMT = 120.48/ 1000 = 12.1
43
Q

Solve the problem:

Find the current yield and the capital gains yield for a 10-year, 9% annual coupon bond that sells for $887, and has a face value of $1,000.

A 
N = 10
I = 10.9117%
PV = $887
PMT = $90
FV = $1,000
YTM = CY + CGY
CY = PMT / PV
CY = 90 / 887 = 10.15%
  1. 9117 = 10.15 + CGY
  2. 9117 - 10.15 = CGY
  3. 7617% = CGY
