Example: Yield to Maturity and Yield to Call. On March 16, 2003 you consider the purchase of a $1,000 bond that was issued on January 1, 2001. It has a 10.5% semiannual coupon using a 30/360 calendar, and matures on January 1, 2031. The bond is callable on January 1, 2006 at 110 (that is, $1,100). The bond is now selling at 115.174 (that is, $1,151.74). Determine both the yield to maturity and the yield to call for this bond.
