Explanation / Answer

The Lo Sun Corporation offers a 6.2 percent bond with a current market price of $774.50. The yield to maturity is 8.46 percent. The face value is $1,000. Interest is paid semiannually. How many years is it until this bond matures?

No of year left to mature = nper(rate,pmt,pv,fv)/2

PV (indicates the price) = 774.50

PMT (indicate the Semi annual payment) = 1000*6.2%*1/2 = 31

FV (indicates the face value) = 1000

Rate (indicates YTM) = 8.46%*1/2 = 4.23%

No of year left to mature = nper(4.23%,31,-774.50,1000)/2

No of year left to mature = 22.43 Years

Answer

A) 22.43 years
