Subject:FinancePrice:2.86 Bought8
1) Common stock: Dividend = $1.26, price now = $72.56, price expected in one year = $82.50. Find total percent return. 2. Bond: Par = $1,000, coupon rate = 7%, 30-year bond is 14 years old, current price = $1,120.00. Find current yield and yield-to-maturity.
1.% return=(End value-Beginning value+Dividend)/Beginning value
=(82.5-72.56+1.26)/72.56
=15.44%(Approx)
2.Annual coupon=1000*7%
=70
Current yield=Annual coupon/Current price
=70/1120
=6.25%
Time to maturity=(30-14)=16 years
Approx Yield to maturity=[Annual coupon+(Face value-Present value)/time to maturity]/(Face value+Present value)/2
=[70+(1000-1120)/16]/(1000+1120)/2
=5.83%(Approx)
