4-22 Yield to Maturity and Yield to Call Arnot Interrational's bonds have a current market price of $1,200. The bonds have an 11% annual coupon payment, a $1,000 face value, and 10 years left until maturity. The bonds may be called in 5 years at 109% of face value (call price = $1,090). a. What is the yield to maturity? b. What is the yield to call if they are called in 5 years? c. Which yield might investors expect to earn on these bonds, and why? d. The bond's indenture indicates that the call provision gives the firm the right to call them at the end of each year beginning in Year 5. In Year 5, they may be called at 109% of face value, but in each of the next 4 years the call percentage will decline by 1 percentage point.
