n = 20, i = 12 % n = 20, i = 12%
$100 x 7.469 = $746.90 $1,000 x 0.104 = $104.00

Yield to Call ExampleYield to Call Example 20-year bond was initially issued at 11.5% interest rate, 20-year bond was initially issued at 11.5% interest rate,
and was callable at $1,090 five years after issueand was callable at $1,090 five years after issue
Two years later, the yield to maturity on the bond is Two years later, the yield to maturity on the bond is 9.48%, and the bond is selling for $1,1809.48%, and the bond is selling for $1,180
An investor who buys the bond two years after issue An investor who buys the bond two years after issue can have his bond called back after three more years at can have his bond called back after three more years at $1,090$1,090
To compute yield to call, determine the approximate To compute yield to call, determine the approximate interest rate that will equate a $1,180 investment today interest rate that will equate a $1,180 investment today with $115 (11.5%) per year for the next three years with $115 (11.5%) per year for the next three years plus a payoff or call price value of $1,090 at the end of plus a payoff or call price value of $1,090 at the end of three years.three years.
