Q36 awp bpp revision kit
to calculate issue price the redemption price was 105,109 whereas in yield to maturity redemption value is 100,105 and again to find duration redemption value is 105,109?? why it is so why the redemption value differs in various calculation?February 3, 2017 at 3:06 pm #370925Option 1:
There is interest at 5% per year. The redemption is at par, so 100. So the total in the final year is 105.
Option 2:
There is interest at 4% per year. The redemption is at a premium of 5%, so 105. So the total in the final year is 109.

February 4, 2017 at 10:06 am #371019Do you really expect that I spend all night sitting in front of the computer answering questions? Of course I have not yet replied – we say that we will answer within 24 hours and I do answer within 24 hours.
The same flows have been taken in both sets of calculations – have you actually looked closely at the flows?
5, 5, 5, and 105 in each of the 4 years is exactly the same as 5 p.a. for years 1 to 4 and then 100 in 4 years time.
February 4, 2017 at 11:29 am #371026Oh I thought you must have forgotten as happened a day ago.I got your point ,I noticed it now that in fourth year interest was included and its exactly same 1-4yrs interest paid and showing it separately .. Sorry for this
