Current Price = 105 [ Assumed Face value = 100]
Remaining life to maturity = 10 year [Period = 20]
Redemable value = 100
Coupon payment = 7.8/2 = 3.9
Semi Annual YTM = [3.9 + (100-105)/20]/(100+105)/2 = .03561 [i.e. 3.561%]
Annual YTM = 3.561 X (12/6) = 7.12% Ans
What is the Bond Equivalent Yield for a 5 year, 8% bond ( semi annual coupon payment ) that is trading in the market for Rs. 852.8 ?
