N = 25, if = 8%, F = RM1,000, on March 1, 2012 P = RM1,100.
The bond's current value is:
P = F*if((1 - (1 + i)^-n)/i) + F(1 + i)^-n
where:
C = F * iF = coupon payment
N = number of payments
i = market interest rate, or required yield, M = face value
P = market price of bond.
1100 = 80*((1 - 1/(1 + i)^25)/i) + 1000/(1 + i)^25
The yield to maturity i = 7.13%.
