Answer:

YTM on bond B: 11.80%

Explanation:

Investmetn A is a perpetuity with a grow rate of 2.21% and required return of 11.49%

the present value is:

[tex]\frac{515}{.1149 - .0221} = Investment_A[/tex]

A=5549.568966

if Kyan holding value is 6,600 then the bond present value is:

6,600 - 5,549.57 = 1,050.43

Now we need to calcualte the YTM for bond B:

[tex]YTM_s = \frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n }}{\frac{F+P}{2}}[/tex]

Coupon payment =1,000 x 12.66%/2 payment per year = $ 63.3

Face Value = 1000

Present value= 1050.43

n= 9 years x 2 payment per year = 18

[tex]YTM_s = \frac{63.3 + \frac{1,000-1,050.43}{18 }}{\frac{1,000+1,050.43}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]YTM_s = \frac{63.3 + \frac{60.49833333}{1025.215}[/tex]

YTMs = 5.9010386%

This is a semiannual rate, as we were working with semiannual payment

to get the YTM we multiply by 2 and get:

YTM: 0.118020773 = 11.80%
