Bond’s yield to maturity can be calculated with the help of following formula
Bond price P0 = C* [1- 1/ (1+i) ^n] /i + M / (1+i) ^n
Where
Price of the bond P0 = $1294.73
M = value at maturity, or face value = $ 1000
C = coupon payment = 11% of $1000 = $110
n = number of payments = 5 (years)
i = interest rate, or yield to maturity =?
Now we have,
$1294.73 = $ 110 * [1 – 1 / (1+i) ^5] /i + $1000 / (1+i) ^5
By trial and error method we got the value of i = 4.32%
[Or you can use excel function for YTM calculation in following manner
“=Rate(N,PMT,PV,FV)”
“=Rate(5,-110,1294.73,-1000)” = 4.32%]
Therefore correct answer is option a. 4.32%
