3. Filter Filler has outstanding bonds with a par value of $1000 and a coupon rate of 5% that mature in 15 years. If the market price of a Filter Filler bond is $865, what is the current yield on the bond.

Explanation / Answer

1. Kevin's return = (final stock price - initial stock price + dividend)/initial stock price

=(43-42.40+0.25)/42.40

=2.00%

---------

Book Value per share = $200000/7000

=$28.57 per share

------

Current yield =  Annual interest payment / Current Bond Price

=50/865

=5.78%
