Question

Sadik Inc.'s bonds currently sell for $1,180 and have a par value of $1,000. They pay a $105 annual coupon and have a 15-year maturity, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,100. What is their yield to call (YTC)? 6.63% 6.98% 7.35% 7.74% 8.12%

Answer 1

7.74%

Step-by-step explanation:

The yield to call would be the internal rate of return considering the cahsflow until the bodn is called. W can solve for that using excel IRR function;

We list the cashflow in order.

F0 -1180

F1 105

F2 105

F3 105

F4 105

F5 1205 (105 coupon payment plus 1100 principal)

We now write the function and get the YTC

=IRR(B1:B6) 7.7366%
