Bond Yield at Maturity: The bond holders can ascertain how much amount they earn on their investments annually.

Formula: (Annual Interest + [(par value-market value)/number of years of maturity]/ ((par value+ market value) / 2)

Bond Current Yield:

Example: Suppose M. Chopra has invested in 20 years bond and the interest rate is 9% and required rate of return is 7%. Find out the current yield if market value of bond is Rs. 9, 88,000 and the face value is Rs. 10, 00,000.

Solution: Current Yield = Annual Interest / Market value
= 90,000 / 9, 88,000
= 9.10%

Bond Yield at Maturity (YTM):

Example: Mr. Sharma has invested in a bond for 10 years. The interest rate is 6.3% annually. The market price of bond is Rs. 980 and the face value of a bond is Rs. 1000. Find out the yield at maturity.

Solution: (Annual Interest + [(par value-market value)/number of years of maturity]/ ((par value+ market value) / 2)
Or
C*[1-(1/ (1+YTM) n)/I] + FV/ (1+YTM) n

= [63 + (1000- 980 /10)/ (1000+980 / 2)
=65/990
=6.56 %

Yield at Maturity of Zero Coupon Bond:

Example: Mrs. Nisha has invested in a zero coupon bond for 8 years whose current price is Rs.8, 756 and face value is Rs.10, 000. Find out the Yield at maturity.

Solution: Yield at maturity = (Face Value / Current price) -1
= (10,000 / 8, 756) – 1
= 14.20%

Bond Yield at Call (YTC): Bondholders earn interest on bond when it calls before maturity. These bond are known as Callable bonds. The issuer buy back their bond when market interest rate is lower than the stated rate in bonds.

Example: Suppose you invested in a bond for 20 years and the interest rate is 5.3%. The face value of a bond is Rs. 1000 and the market value is Rs.856. The issuer buy back the bond before the maturity from bond holders at premium of Rs.1090 in 10 years. Find out the yield at call.

Solution: (Annual Interest + [(call price-market value)/number of years until call]/ ((call price+ market value) / 2)
= [(53 + (1090- 856 /10))/ (1090+856 / 2)
= 76.4/973
= 7.85 %

Note: If bond is issue at premium then the required rate of return is lower than the coupon rate and if issue at discount then the required rate of return is higher than the coupon rate.
