Meacham Enterprises' bonds currently sell for $1,280 and have a par value of $1,000. They pay a $135 annual coupon and have a 15-year maturity, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,050. What is their yield to call (YTC)

Answer:

Yield to call (YTC) = 7.64%

Explanation:

Yield to call (YTC) = {coupon + [(call price - market price)/n]} / [(call price + market price)/2]

YTC = {135 + [(1,050 - 1,280)/5]} / [(1,050 + 1,280)/2]

YTC = 89 / 1,165 = 0.07639 = 7.64%

Yield to call is how much a bondholder will earn if the bond is actually called, and it may differ from yield to maturity since the call price is generally higher than the face value, but the yield to maturity generally is longer than the call period.
