16. Effect of yield to maturity on bond price (LO10-2 and 3) Wilson Oil Company
issued bonds five years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 25-year life
when issued and the annual interest payment was then 15 percent. This return was
in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point in time as described
next:
First compute the new required rate of return (yield to
maturity).
Real rate of return 8%
Inflation premium 3%
Risk premium 7%
18% Total required return
Then, use this value to find the price of the bond.
