Explanation:

IMPORTANT NOTE: The data of the calculation was obtained from an online book.

Yield to Maturity [YTM] of the Bond

Yield to Maturity [YTM] = Coupon Amount + [(Par Value – Bond Price) / Maturity Years] / [(Par Value + Bond Price)/2]

Par Value = $2,000

Coupon Amount = $126 [$2,000 x 6.30%]

Bond Price = $1,885.82 [$2,000 x 94.291%]

Maturity Years = 15 Years [Jan 15,2016 to Jan 15,2031]

Therefore, Yield to Maturity [YTM] = Coupon Amount + [(Par Value – Bond Price) / Maturity Years] / [(Par Value + Bond Price)/2]

= [$126 + {($2,000 – $1,885.82) / 15 Years)] / [($2,000 + $1,885.82) / 2}]

= [($126 + $7.61) / $ 1,942.91]

= 0.0692

= 6.92%
