Respuesta :
The approximate yield to maturity of the bond considering the par value, selling price as well as years to maturity is 9.43%
The requirement is to determine the approximate yield to maturity of the bond using a formula approach.
The approximate yield to maturity of a bond is different from the yield computed using a financial calculator or excel spreadsheet because the yield computed using a software approach is precise, in other words, the approximate yield to maturity of a bond can be computed using the formula provided below:
Yield=(C+(F-P)/n))/(F+P)/2
C=annual coupon=12%*$1000
C=$120
F=face value=$1000
P=current price=$1,120
n=years to maturity=6
Yield=($120+($1000-$1120)/6)/($1000+$1120)/2
Note $1000-$1120/6=-$20
Yield=($120-$20)/($2,120)/2
Yield=$100/$1060
Approximate yield=9.43%(rounded to 2 decimal places)
