Answer #1

Suppose the face value of the bond be $1000
Present value or the current selling price=$1100
Coupon interest rate=7.25%
Coupon payment=(Coupon interest rate)*(Face value)=7.25%*1000=72.5
Time period=25 years
We can determine the expected rate of return (or the yield to maturity) using excel.

V U 1 Face value 2 Payment 1000 72.5 3 Number of periods 4 Present value 25 -1100 5 Yield to maturity 6.44% Formula used: RAT

As the present value is a cash outflow, we have taken it as negative in excel.

So, the expected rate of return is 6.44%
