What is the yield to maturity?

A zero-coupon bond is a bond that does not pay interest during its life. The yield to maturity of a bond is the discount rate that equates the cost of the bond to the maturity value.

The yield to maturity can be determined using a financial caculator:

  • Cash flow in year 0 = -403
  • Cash flow in year 1 to 9 = 0
  • Cash flow in year 10 = 1250

Yield to maturity = 12%
