Explanation / Answer

a) YTM= 6% Present value of the bond= PV of interest payments + PV of principal(lumpsum) @ maturity Ie. PV of the bond= Coupon payment in $ ( 1-(1+YTM)^-n/YTM ) + Face Value/(1+YTM) where n= no.of years remaining to maturity -here 2-1=1 Substituting ,we have PV of the bond= 90{1-(1+0.06)^-1 /0.06 } + 1000/(1+0.06) ie. 84.9057+943.3962 =1028.3019 Return on the bond=( Market price or PV of the bond - Face value )/Face value *100 ie. (1028.3019 - 1000) /1000 * 100 = 2.83% b) YTM= 9% Present value of the bond= PV of interest payments + PV of principal(lumpsum) @ maturity Ie. PV of the bond= Coupon payment in $ ( 1-(1+YTM)^-n/YTM ) + Face Value/(1+YTM) where n= no.of years remaining to maturity -here 2-1=1 Substituting ,we have PV of the bond= 90{1-(1+0.09)^-1 /0.09 } + 1000/(1+0.09) ie. 82.5688+917.4312= 1000 Return on the bond=( Market price or PV of the bond - Face value )/Face value *100 ie. (1000 - 1000) /1000 * 100 = 0 % c) YTM= 11% Present value of the bond= PV of interest payments + PV of principal(lumpsum) @ maturity Ie. PV of the bond= Coupon payment in $ ( 1-(1+YTM)^-n/YTM ) + Face Value/(1+YTM) where n= no.of years remaining to maturity -here 2-1=1 Substituting ,we have PV of the bond= 90{1-(1+0.11)^-1 /0.11 } + 1000/(1+0.11) ie. 81.0811+900.9009 = 981.982 Return on the bond=( Market price or PV of the bond - Face value )/Face value *100 ie. (981.982 - 1000) /1000 * 100 = - 1.80 %    Rate of Return a. 6% 2.83% b. 9.00% 0% c. 11.00% -1.80%
