### Current Yield $$\text{Current Yield} = \frac{\text{Annual Coupon}}{\text{Current Price}} \times 100$$ **Where:** - Annual Coupon = Face Value × Coupon Rate - Price < Par → Current Yield > Coupon Rate - Price > Par → Current Yield < Coupon Rate - Price = Par → Current Yield = Coupon Rate --- ### Approximate Yield to Maturity (AYTM) $$\text{AYTM} = \frac{\text{Coupon} \pm \text{Price Change per Year}}{\text{Average Price}} \times 100$$ **Where:** $$\text{Price Change per Year} = \frac{\text{Par Value} - \text{Purchase Price}}{\text{Years to Maturity}}$$ $$\text{Average Price} = \frac{\text{Purchase Price} + \text{Par Value}}{2}$$ > **Note:** Use **+** if bond is at a **discount** (price < par) — gain at maturity > Use **−** if bond is at a **premium** (price > par) — loss at maturity --- ### T-Bill Yield $$\text{T-Bill Yield} = \frac{\text{Face Value} - \text{Purchase Price}}{\text{Purchase Price}} \times \frac{365}{\text{Days to Maturity}} \times 100$$ > T-Bills have no coupon — sold at a discount, mature at face value --- ### Accrued Interest $$\text{Accrued Interest} = \frac{\text{Annual Coupon}}{\text{Periods per Year}} \times \frac{\text{Days Since Last Coupon}}{\text{Days in Period}}$$ **Where:** - Semi-annual bond: divide coupon by 2, use 182 days per period - Annual bond: use full coupon, use 365 days per period $$\text{Dirty Price} = \text{Clean Price} + \text{Accrued Interest}$$ --- ### Nominal Rate (Fisher Effect) $$\text{Nominal Rate} = \text{Real Rate} + \text{Inflation Rate}$$ --- ### Present Value of a Bond (reference only — not calculated by hand) $$PV = \frac{C}{(1+r)^1} + \frac{C}{(1+r)^2} + \cdots + \frac{C + FV}{(1+r)^n}$$ **Where:** - $C$ = Coupon payment per period - $r$ = Discount rate per period - $n$ = Number of compounding periods - $FV$ = Face value (par) received at maturity
