Yield to Maturity
ng period return, as the two often differ. Yield to maturity is generally given in terms of Annual Percentage Rate (APR), and it is an estimation of future return, as the rate at which coupon payments can be reinvested at is unknown. However, for zero coupon bonds, the yield to maturity and the rate of return are equivalent since there are no coupon payments to reinvest. Another way of putting it is that the yield to maturity is the rate of return that makes the present value (PV) of the cash flow generated by the bond equal to the price. Yield to maturi

For example at the short end of the curve, where there are few cashflows, the first few elements of P may be found by bootstrapping from one to the next. At the long end, a regression technique with a cost function that values smoothness might be used. How the yield curve affects bond prices[edit] There is a time dimension to the analysis

yield to maturity - reinvesting coupons

#bonds #finance #yield-to-maturity

All the coupons are reinvested at an interest rate equal to the yield-to-maturity - it is a common mistaken assumption, but not true. Each part of today's price earns interest before being paid out either as a coupon or as a principal.

#bonds #duration #finance

Portfolio has to have duration (rather than maturity) equal to the required period, but it needs constant adjusting, because duration is calculated from yield to maturity so when yield changes, so does duration. Also, it is not accurate because immunisation is only to parallel shifts in rates.

The concept of current yield is closely related to other bond concepts, including yield to maturity, and coupon yield. The relationship between yield to maturity and the coupon rate is as follows: When a bond sells at a discount, YTM > current yield > coupon yield.When a bond sells at a premium, coupon yield > current yield > YTM.When a bond sells at par, YTM = current yield = coupon yield

Constant slope does not imply constant elasticity. To see this, consider the linear demand function Q=a-bP, which has constanst slope equal -b. But the elasticity implied by this demand function is E=(dQ/dP)(P/Q)=-b(P/Q). Since the ratio P/Q gets smaller and smaller as Q increases, demand is more leastic at high prices and less elastic at low prices.

Elasticity vs. Slope?
Best Answer helper answered 5 years ago Constant slope does not imply constant elasticity. To see this, consider the linear demand function Q=a-bP, which has constanst slope equal -b. But the elasticity implied by this demand function is E=(dQ/dP)(P/Q)=-b(P/Q). Since the ratio P/Q gets smaller and smaller as Q increases, demand is more leastic at high prices and less elastic at low prices. This makes intuitive sense, since it is reasonable that quantity demanded is more sensitive at high prices than it is at low prices. A demand function of the form Q=b/P is called a constant elasticity demand function. To see this, note that E=(dQ/dP)(P/Q)=(-b/P^2)(P/Q)=(-b/P^2)(P/... a constant. More generally, if
