BOND VALUATION
1. Current Yield
a. What is the current yield of 10 years 12% coupon bond with a face value of Rs. 1000 and
currently selling at Rs. 950.
Solution: Calculation of Current Yield:
CY = In/Po x 100
In = Annual Interest = 1000 x 12% = 120
Po = 950
CY = 120/950 X 100
CY = 12.63%
Interpretation: since the bond is currently selling at discount (950<1000) hence the current
yield of 12.63% is greater than the coupon rate of 12%.
b. The face value of a bond is 1000 and it is currently selling at Rs. 1200 with a coupon rate of
12% with 10 years to maturity. Calculate the current yield from the bond.
Solution: Calculation of Current Yield:
CY = In/Po x 100
In = Annual Interest = 1000 x 12% = 120
Po = 1200
CY = 120/1200 X 100
CY = 10%
Interpretation: since the bond is currently selling at premium (1200>1000) hence the current
yield of 10% is lesser than the coupon rate of 12%.
(1 + k)2 = 1000/797.19
(1 + k)2 = 1.2544
K = 1.12 -1
K =0.12 or 12%
3. Yield to Maturity
a. Mr. Arun recently purchased a bond with Rs. 1000 face value at 10% coupon rate and 4
years to maturity. The bond makes annual interest payment. Mr. Arun paid Rs. 1032.40
for the bond. What is the bond yield to maturity?
F = 1000
P = 1032.40
N = 4 Years
T = 1032.40
=100 – 8.1/1019.44
= 91.9/1019.44
YTM = 0.09 or 9%
4. Yield to Call
a. Let's say you buy a bond with a face value of Rs. 1,000 and a coupon
rate of 5%. The bond matures in 10 years, but the issuer can call the
bond for face value (Rs. 1,000) in two years if they choose. You buy the
bond for Rs. 960, a discount to face value. Calculate the yield to call.
= 50 + 20 / 980
= 70/980
5. Bond Duration
a. A bond with face value of Rs.100 , has a coupon rate of 12% issued three years ago is
redeemable after five years from now at a premium of 5%. The interest rate
prevailing in the market currently is 14%. Estimate the bond duration.

5 105 0.5194 54.5370 272.6850
Total =95.7354 = 386.0402
b. A bond has a face value of Rs. 100 redeemable after 5 years. The coupon rate on this bond
is 15% and the maturity is 5 years. The bond will be redeemable at the par of Rs 100 after 5
years. Since the bond is newly issued by the company, the coupon rate will be same as the
market interest rate. And the market price of the bond is also equal to the face value of the
bond. Calculate the bond duration.
Solution: Calculation of Bond Duration

5 115 (100+15) 0.4972 57.1780 285.8900
Total = 100.0030 = 385.5125
Bond Prices
a. A bond with face value of Rs. 1000 was issued five years ago at a
coupon rate of 10%. The bond had a maturity period of 10 years
and as of today, and therefore 5 more years are left for final
repayment of the bond at par. If the current market interest rate
is 14% calculate the present value of the bond.
