Using financial calculator BA II Plus - Input details:
#
FV = Future Value / Face Value =
-$1,000.00
PV = Present Value = 1000 x 91.655% =
$916.55
N = Total number of periods = Number of years x frequency =
18
PMT = Payment = Coupon / frequency =
-$87.00
CPT > I/Y = Rate per period or YTM per period =
9.6979
Convert Yield in annual and percentage form = Yield*frequency / 100 =
9.70%
Current yield = 9.49%
Current Yield = PMT / PV = 87/ 916.55 =
9.49%
