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!
