= $80 / year
Par Value = $1,000

m =2
What is semi- annual coupon payment?
> $80 / 2 = $40
Estimated return on a bond if held to maturity.
Yield to maturity
Formula of AYM
AYM = Annual Interest + [(par value - price) / yrs to maturity] / (Par value + Price) / 2

Bond life = 10 years
Annual Coupon = $80
