Debra King wants to invest in four-year bonds that are currently priced at $898.49. These bonds have a coupon rate of 6.0 percent and make semiannual coupon payments. What is the current market yield on this bond?

Respuesta :

Answer:

9.08%

Explanation:

We use the RATE formula that is shown in the attachment below

Given that,  

Present value = $898,.49

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 6% ÷ 2 = $30

NPER =  4 years × 2 = 8 years

The formula is shown below:  

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

The present value come in negative

Therefore,

After solving this, the yield to maturity is 9.08%
