26. Currently, Bruner Inc.'s bonds sell for $1,250. They pay a $120 annual coupon, have a 15-year maturity, and a $1,000 par value, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,050. Assume that no costs other than the call premium would be incurred to call and refund the bonds, and also assume that the yield curve is horizontal, with rates expected to remain at current levels on into the future. What is the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.11%

Explanation:

From the information given; we use the Excel spreadsheet to compute the  difference between this bond's YTM(Yield to maturity) and its YTC(Yield to call).

From the diagram; we will see that the

YTM(Yield to maturity) = 8.91%

YTC(Yield to call).= 6.81%

Therefore the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC = (8.91 - 6.81)%

the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC = 2.11%
