Bond Calculations
The hp 12c platinum enables you to solve for bond price (and the interest accrued
since the last interest date) and the yield to maturity.
*
The
fE
and
fS
calculations are done assuming a semiannual coupon payment and using an
actual/actual basis (such as for U.S. Treasury bonds and U.S. Treasury notes). In
accordance with market convention, prices are based on a redemption (par) value
of 100.
To calculate bond price and yield for a 30/360 bond (that is, using the basis of a
30-day month and a 360-day year —such as for municipal bonds, corporate
bonds, and to calculate bond price for bonds with an annual coupon payment),
refer to Section 16: Bonds.
Bond Price
1. Enter the desired yield to maturity (as a percentage), using ¼.
2. Enter the annual coupon rate (as a percentage), using P.
3. Key in the settlement (purchase) date (as described on page 37), then press
\.
4. Key in the maturity (redemption) date.
5. Press fE.
The price is shown in the display and also is stored in the PV register. The interest
accrued since the last interest date is held inside the calculator: to display the
