Question

Keenan Industries has a bond outstanding with 17 years to maturity, a 9.0% nominal coupon rate, semiannual payments, and a $1,000 par value. The bond has a 7.80% nominal yield to maturity, but it can be called in 5 years at a price of $1,090. What is the bond

Keenan Industries has a bond outstanding with 17 years to maturity, a 9.0% nominal coupon rate, semiannual payments, and a $1,000 par value. The bond has a 7.80% nominal yield to maturity, but it can be called in 5 years at a price of $1,090. What is the bond

Explanation / Answer

Hi

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Calculate Present Value of the Bond

Nper = 17*2 = 34 (indicates the period)

Rate = 7.80*1/2 = 3.90% (indicates the semi-annual interest rate)

FV = 1000 (indicates the face value of bonds)

PMT = 1000*1/2*9% = 45 (indicates semi-annual interest payment)

PV = ? (indicates the present value of bonds)

Present Value = PV(Rate,Nper,PMT,FV) = PV(3.90%,34,45,1000) = $1111.95

---------

Calculate Yield to Call with the Above Value

Nper = 5*2 = 10 (indicates the period)

Rate = ? (indicates yield)

FV = 1090 (indicates the yield to call value)

PMT = 1000*1/2*9% = 45 (indicates semi-annual interest payment)

PV = 1111.95 (indicates the present value of bonds)

Yield to Call = Rate(Nper,PMT,PV,FV)*2 = Rate(10,45,-1111.95,1090)*2 = 7.76%

Answer is 7.76%.

Thanks.
