ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING - ANSWER 34.7 : (a) Purchase price = 0.95 x par bond value = 0.95 x $1000 = $950. (b) Annual discount = (total discount) / (25 years) = (0.05 x par bond value) / 25 = 0.05 x $1000 / 25 = $2. (c) Annual coupon rate payment = par value x coupon rate = $1000 x 0.08 = $80. (d) YTM = [ Answer in (c) + Answer in (b) ] x 200 / [ par bond value + Answer in (a) ] = (80 + 2) x 200 / (1000 + 950) = 8.41 %.
