Question:

Yields are measures of the return on holding a bond.

a. The yield to maturity is a measure of the interest rate on a bond. To compute it, set the price of the bond equal to the present value of the payments.

b. The current yield on a bond is equal to the coupon rate divided by the price.

c. When the price of a bond is above its face value, the coupon rate is greater than the current yield, which is higher than the yield to maturity.

d. One-year holding period returns are equal to the sum of the current yield and any capital gain or loss arising from a change in a bond’s price.
