We also explain the difference between the face value and the market value of the bond and their relationship to the coupon rate, current yield, and yield to maturity (YTM). We go through examples of calculating the coupon rate, current yield, and the yield to maturity (YTM). We also show how to calculate the yield to maturity using excel.

[sowmyashree]

is the face value of the bond same as the yield to maturity ?

[zigggzaggg]

how 11.28 % but if u normally calculate it with face value of 100rand, then 10% for 5 years 50rand will be the interest right?, so 50% is the return but how 11.28%?
