What is the price of a perpetuity that has a coupon of $50 per year and a yield to maturity of 2.5%? If the yield to maturity doubles, what will happen to its price?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.

$2000

2.

If the yield to maturity doubles,the price of perpetuity would reduce by 100%

Explanation:

The price of the perpetuity is determined by dividing the coupon by the yield to maturity as shown below:

price=coupon/yield to maturity

coupon=$50

yield to maturity=2.5%

price=$50/2.5%

price=$2000

If the yield to maturity doubles, it becomes 5% and a new price is shown below:

price=$50/5%=$1000
