a. Use the following inputs: n = 40, FV = 1,000, PV = –950, PMT = 40. We
will find that the yield to maturity on a semi-annual basis is 4.26%.
This implies a bond equivalent yield to maturity of: 4.26% 2 = 8.52%
2
Effective annual yield to maturity = (1.0426) – 1 = 0.0870 = 8.70%
2
Effective annual yield to maturity = (1.0376) – 1 = 0.0766 = 7.66%
15 days have passed since the last semiannual coupon was paid, so there is an
accrued interest, which can be calculated as:
11.9 Using Equation 11.2, the percentage change in the bond price is:
ΔP Δy 0. 0050
=−7.194× =−0. 0327
P = – Duration 1+ y 1. 10 or a 3.27%
