Supposethatthepriceofthisdebtobligationis$7,704.Whatistheyieldorinternalrateofreturnofferedbythisdebtobligation?

Presentvalue=$7,701.62
Using12%,thepresentvalueofthecashflowis$7,701.62,whichisalmostequaltothepriceofthefinancialinstrumentof$7,704.Therefore,theyieldiscloseto12%.ThepreciseyieldusingExcelorafinancialcalculatoris11.987%.
Althoughtheformulafortheyieldisbasedonannualcashflows,itcanbegeneralizedtoanynumberofperiodicpaymentsinayear.Thegeneralizedformulafordeterminingtheyieldis
whereCFt=cashflowinperiodt,andn=numberofperiods.
Keepinmindthattheyieldcomputedistheyieldfortheperiod.Thatis,ifthecashflowsaresemiannual,theyieldisasemiannualyield.Ifthecashflowsaremonthly,theyieldisamonthlyyield.Tocomputethesimpleannualinterestrate,theyieldfortheperiodismultipliedbythenumberofperiodsintheyear.
2.Whatistheeffectiveannualyieldifthesemiannualperiodicinterestrateis4.3%?
Toobtainaneffectiveannualyieldassociatedwithaperiodicinterestrate,thefollowingformulaisused:
effectiveannualyield=(1+periodicinterestrate)m–1
wheremisthefrequencyofpaymentsperyear.Inourproblem,theperiodicinterestrateisasemiannualrateof4.3%andthefrequencyofpaymentsistwiceperyear.Insertingthesenumbers,wehave:
effectiveannualyield=(1.043)2–1=1.087849–1=0.087849orabout8.785%.
