Explanation / Answer

PMT = 1000 * 9% / 2 = 45

a. Using financial calculator, Enter N = 40, FV = 1000, PV = -940, PMT = 45. Press the I/Yr key = 4.84%

Bond equivalent yield to maturity = 4.84% * 2 = 9.68%.

Effective annual yield to maturity = (1.0484)2 - 1 = 9.91%

b.

Using financial calculator, Enter N = 40, FV = 1000, PV = -1000, PMT = 45. Press the I/Yr key = 4.50%

Bond equivalent yield to maturity = 4.50% * 2 = 9% same as annual coupon rate.

Effective annual yield to maturity = (1.045)2 - 1 = 9.20%

c.

Using financial calculator, Enter N = 40, FV = 1000, PV = -1060, PMT = 45. Press the I/Yr key = 4.19%

Bond equivalent yield to maturity = 4.19% * 2 = 8.38%

Effective annual yield to maturity = (1.0419)2 - 1 = 8.55%
