Calculator solution for YTM:
N = 9
PV = -929
PMT = 0.04 x 1,000 = 40
FV = 1,000
I/Y = ? = 5.0, this represents the yield that new bondholders would earn if they buy the bond for
$929 today.
6-19 a. Calculator solution:
N = interest payments remaining until maturity = 7
I/Y = 6.0
PMT = Interest payment = (0.06 x 1,000) = $60
FV = $1,000
PV = ? = -1,000.00
