What is the yield to maturity of the bond? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

Explanation / Answer

a. yield to maturity = 11.60% since bond is at par

b.

at rate = 7%

N = 1

PMT = 116

FV = 1000

use PV function in Excel

price after a year = 1042.9907

realized YTM = (1042.9907 + 116)/1000 - 1 = 15.90%

simlarly for 10%

realized return = 13.05%

for 13%

realized return = 10.36%
