Question

A company issues a 10-year, callable bond at par with 8% annual coupon payments. The bond can be called at par in one year after issue or any time after that on a coupon payment date. The call price is $108 per $100 of face value. What is the yield to call if this bond is called in one year

Answer 1

the yield to call is 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the yield to call is as follows:

Given that

NPER is 10 year

PMT = $100 × 8% = $8

FV = $108

PV = $100

The formula is shown below:

= RATE(NPER,PMT,PV,FV,TYPE)

after applying the above formula, the yield to call is 9%
