4. Bond Prices & Yields Yield Price

5. Yield To Maturity  All interest bearing instruments are priced to fit the term structure  This is accomplished by modifying the asset price  The modified price creates a New Yield, which fits the Term Structure  The new yield is called the Yield To Maturity (YTM)

6. Yield to Maturity Example  A $1000 treasury bond expires in 5 years. It pays a coupon rate of 10.5%. If the market price of this bond is 107.88, what is the YTM?

8. Bond Prices & Yields Yield Price

9. Bond A YTM = 4.00% Maturity = 8 years Coupon = 6% or $60 Par Value = $1,000 Price = $1,134.65 Bond B YTM = 3.50% Maturity = 5 years Coupon = 7% or $70 Par Value = $1,000 Price = $1,158.03

10. Bond A YTM = 4.75% Maturity = 8 years Coupon = 6% or $60 Par Value = $1,000 New Price= $1,108.61 Price dropped by 2.30 % Bond B YTM = 4.25% Maturity = 5 years Coupon = 7% or $70 Par Value = $1,000 New Price =$1,121.57 Price dropped by 3.15 % Yields increased 0.75%...prices dropped differently
