IRR=> ?

The YTM is 2*IRR===> ?

EJ Corp bond carries a 9 percent coupon, paid semi-annually. The par value is $1,000, and the bond matures in 12 years. If the bond currently sells for $905.50 (PV), what is its yield to maturity? Enter PV as a negative number. Calculate equal 24 payments ($1,000*.09/2) and enter.

Explanation / Answer

Solution..

Calculation for yield to maturity.

Formula = C + ( F- P / n ) / F + P / 2

= 90 + [( 1,000 - 905.50 ) / 12 ] / (1,000 + 905.50 ) / 2

= 184.5 / 952.75 = 19.36%
