Jenny LePlaz is looking to invest in a five-year bond that pays annual coupons of 6.25 percent and currently sells at $912.34. What is the current market yield on such bonds?

Respuesta :

Answer:

8.47%

Explanation:

annual coupon = 6.25% x $1,000 = $62.50

present value = -$912.34

cash flow 0 = -$912.34

cash flow 1 = $62.50

cash flow 2 = $62.50

cash flow 3 = $62.50

cash flow 4 = $62.50

cash flow 5 = $1,062.50

using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function we can determine the yield to maturity = 8.47%
