return on a bond to the inUestor depends
upon three fcctore: the rate of interest
the security bears, the market price
and the distance of the maturity date.
70 figure the precise yield on bond it
as necessary to ftse yield tables, but the
appro1lmcte yield can roughly be figured
OFT by the following formula: Divide
the closing quotation on q bond into
the rate Of interest 1t pays, and the re-
stttt a0lU be the annucl return. If the
bond as selling beIoU par you must
ottow also for the appreciation Of the
principal. To do this subtrcct the mar
het quotation from par, or 100, and d.
v'de tho remainder By the number of
gears the bond has to y7tn before ma
tstr4ty: For example, if per cent
bond IS selling at 80 and has ten gears
TO run, the annual return 4oiu be CSC
per cent. The difference betsoeen par
and the market price aViu be 10 points.
smGtrdctlng 80 from 100. Dividinq ten
points By ten gears, the quotie,st aoiN be
l. Ihts figure is to be added to 6.6S.
10htch IS the annual return, and the re-
s~tt, 7.66 per cent, a0iu give vou the
approximate yield.
