    a bond has an bid yield of 6.2%. the coupon is 5%, maturity is 4 years. redemption is at 10% premium.

    so, the MV can be computed which is 103.72

    my question: rule: if YTM > Coupon then MV < Par

    but in this case it is not so.

    can you pls explain y?

    thank u

    It is because the redemption is at a premium.

    Your ‘rule’ is only completely true when the redemption is at par.
