Explanation / Answer

Answer to Question 5-1.

Face Value = $1,000

Annual Coupon Rate = 8%
Annual Coupon = 8% * $1,000
Annual Coupon = $80

Time to Maturity = 12 years
Annual YTM = 9%

Price of Bond = $80 * PVIFA(9%, 12) + $1,000 * PVIF(9%, 12)
Price of Bond = $80 * (1 - (1/1.09)^12) / 0.09 + $1,000 / 1.09^12
Price of Bond = $928.39

Answer to Question 5-2.

Face Value = $1,000
Current Price = $850

Annual Coupon Rate = 10%
Annual Coupon = 10% * $1,000
Annual Coupon = $100

Time to Maturity = 12 years

Let Annual YTM be i%

$850 = $100 * PVIFA(i%, 12) + $1,000 * PVIF(i%, 12)

Using financial calculator:
N = 12
PV = -850
PMT = 100
FV = 1000

I = 12.48%

Annual YTM = 12.48%
