    Extracted from the illustration in kaplan

    On 1 january 2008 an entity issues a 7 year bond at par value of $300,000 and annual fixed coupon rate of 9% which is also the market rate, when LIBOR is 6%. Therefore, the instrument specific element of IRR=(9%-6%) is 3%

    My question
    how come the IRR is 3%? can you please explain?

    I understand that the IRR is the point where the total cash flows are equal to the cash outflows(the initial investment)

    Isn’t the issue a matter of determining the excess rate of interest pertaining to this bond – your own post describes it as “the instrument specific element” that is the element of the coupon rate which is in excess of the “normal” LIBOR rate
