YTM and Coupon Rate

Mmansoor9y ago
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.
