New Homes has a bond issue with a coupon rate of 5.5 percent that matures in 8.5 years. The bonds have a par value of $1,000 and a market price of $1,022. Interest is paid semiannually. What is the yield to maturity?

Answer 1

Answer:

5.18%

Explanation:

Given:

• n = 8.5
• Face Value = $1,000
• Coupon rate = 5.5% => Coupon payment = 1000*5.5% = 55
• Price:  $1,022.

As we know that, yield to maturity has the formula is:

YMT =  [C + (F-P/n) ] / (F+ P) / 2

= [55 + (1000 - 1022)/8.5] / (1000+1022)/2

= (55-$\frac{44}{17}$ ) / 1011

= 0.0518

= 5.18%
