Question

What is the yield to maturity of a nineminusyear bond that pays a coupon rate of​ 20% per​ year, has a​ $1,000 par​ value, and is currently priced at​ $1,407? Assume annual coupon payments.

Answer 1

12.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,

Present value = $1,407

Future value or Face value = $1,000

PMT = $1,000 × 20% = $200

NPER = 9 years

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the answer would be 12.28%
