Can you help me understand this example and how to calculate it? I'm using a financial calculator but not coming up with the same results as this example.
Example: Calculating YTM with invoice prices
What is the YTM of a bond with: $1,000 par, 8%
coupon, 7 years to maturity, and $1,112.96 price?
- n : 7 2 = 14
- PMT : 8% 1000 = $40
- FV : par = $1,000
- PV : price = 1,112.96
- hit i on calculator, and get 3.00%
Since this is a semi-annual rate, YTM = 2 3.00 = 6.00%
Remark: The effective annual yield is (1.03)2 - 1 = 6.09%
