Question

YTM of a Bond is not affected by

A Coupon Rate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B Issue Price Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C Redemption Value Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D Interest amount Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

The YTM or yield to maturity is unaffected by the issue price of a bond. YTM can be estimated as (Interest amount + (Redemption Value- Market Price)/N)/(average of redemption value and market price of bond). As such interest amount, coupon rate (that helps to calculate the interest amount) and redemption value would affect the YTM; however, issue price does not affect the YTM.
