Jorge Cabrera paid $980 for a 15-year bond 10 years ago. The bond pays a coupon of 10 percent semiannually. Today, the bond is priced at $1,054.36. If he sold the bond today, what would be his realized yield

10.64%

Explanation:

For computing the realized yield, we applied the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $980

Future value or Face value = $1,054.36  

PMT = 1,000 × 10% ÷ 2 = $50

NPER = 10 years × 2 = 20 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

After applying the formula, the realized yield is

= 5.32% × 2

= 10.64%
