Suppose a 10-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 is currently selling for 1,135.90, producing a nominal yield to maturity of 8%. However, the bond can be called after 5 years for a price of 1,050. (1) What is the bonds nominal yield to call (YTC)? (2) If you bought this bond, do you think you would be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC? Why?
Consider a bond with a face value of $5,000 that pays a coupon of $200 for 5 years. Suppose the bond is purchased at $5,000, and can be resold next year for $4,800.
