| Cfrey | This is only if a bond isn't bought a premium/discount correct? |
| ascruggs92 | This is in all cases. Time Value calculations assume coupon payments are immediately reinvested at the prevailing rate of return. |
| khalifa92 | another perspective; yield to maturity is the internal rate of return (IRR) that equalize the discounted cash flows to present value. the IRR takes into account the reinvestment assumption! |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
