Explanation / Answer

1. Coupon rate = 7%, Par Value = 1000, Time to maturity = 18, Price= 695.90
Coupon = 7% * 1000 = 70
Price of Bond = Coupont/(1+ YTM)t + Face Value/(1+YTM)t
695.90 = 70/(1+ YTM)18 + 695.90/(1+YTM)t
YTM = 10.925%

2. Option a ) Correct answer
Market value of Bond approaches to par value if time to maturity declines. The yield to maturity approaches coupon interest rate as the time to maturity increases
Because as time to maturity increases present value of par value decreases and this decrease is more than the increase in discounted extra coupon payments.
YTM approaches coupon rate as maturity increases because to obtain the YTM close to coupon number of years of discounting has to increase.

Best of Luck. God Bless
