Yield to Maturity
Periodic YTM = | 3.27% |
Annualized Nominal YTM = | 6.55% |
Current Yield
Current Yield = | Annual Coupon | Hint: Write formula in words. | |

Current Yield = | 0.0569 |
Yield to Call
Peridodic YTC = | 2.91% | |
Annualized Nominal YTC = | 5.83% | This is a nominal rate, not effective rate. Nominal rates are generally quoted. |
When the YTC is lower than the YTM and if the bond is called, the buyer will lose the difference between the call price and the current price between the purchase date and the call date, and that loss would offset much of the interest income. Note too that if the YTC is lower than the YTM then the bond is likely to be called and replaced, hence that the YTC would probably be earned.

Value of bond if it's not called: | $971.11 |
