Question: Consider three 5 year bonds; each bond has a face value of $100. All bonds mature on the same date. All bonds pay annual coupons
Consider three 5 year bonds; each bond has a face value of $100. All bonds mature on the same date. All bonds pay annual coupons at the same point in time. The coupons and current prices for the three bonds are:
| Bond | COUPON | PRICE |
| A | $10.00 | $103.8900 |
| B | $7.00 | $91.3050 |
| C | $9.00 | PC |
Based on the above information, what is the continuously compounded yield (YTM) on Bond C?
Reminder: You need to answer what is the YTM of Bond C.
[Hint: First compute the price of Bond C (Reference: Module 1 Quiz - Problem 6), then compute YTM for Bond C. Remember, that all the bonds have the same face value of $100.
