as the bond's yield. Yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of return expected from a bond held until its maturity date. However, the YTM equals the expected rate of return under certain assumptions. Which of the following is one of those assumptions? The probability of default is zero. The bond is callable. Consider the case of Swing Co.i Swing Co. has 9% annual coupon bonds that are callable and have 18 years left until maturity. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, and their current market price is $1,100.35. However, Swing Co. may call the bonds in eight years at a call price of $1,060. What are the YTM and the yield to call (YTC) on Swing Co.'s bonds? If interest rates are expected to remain constant, what is the best estimate of the remaining life left for Swing Co.'s bonds? 18 years 10 years 13 years If interest rates are expected to remain constant, what is the best estimate of the remaining life left for Swing Co.'s bonds 18 years 10 years 13 years 8 years If Swing Co. issued new bonds today, what coupon rate must the bonds have to be issued at par
