Watters Umbrella Corp. issued 30-year bonds 2 years ago at a coupon rate of 7.6 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 105 percent of par value, what is the YTM

Respuesta :

Answer:

7.18%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.  

Given that,  

Present value = $1,000 × 105% = 1,050

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

PMT = 1,000 × 7.6% ÷ 2 = $28

NPER = 30 years - 2 years = 28 years × 2 = 56 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  the answer would be 7.18%
