A 6 year bond with 1000 Rupees par value pays 80 Rupees interest annually and sells for 950 Rupees. What is the yield to maturity?

9.12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Yield to maturity is also known as the internal rate of return of a bond

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

YTM can be calculated with a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = -950  

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = 80

Cash flow in year 6 = 100 + 80 = 1080

YTM = 9.12%

To determine YTM using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.  

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
