The new yield to maturity on the bond is 5.16%.
Given Information
Current price of the bond = $980
FV = $1000
Coupon rate = 8%
Term = 10 maturity
After 1 year bond price = $1,200
Remaining life = 9 years (10-1)
New yield rate = [Coupon rate + (Maturity value - Current price) / Useful life] / [0.6*Current price + 0.4*Maturity value]
New yield rate = [1,000*8% + (1,000-1,200) / 9] / [0.6*1,200 + 0.4*1,000]
New yield rate = $57.78 / $1,120
New yield rate = 0.0515893
New yield rate = 5.16%
Therefore, the new yield to maturity on the bond is 5.16%.
Missing word "(Assume a face value of $1,000 and annual coupon payments."
