Yields up, prices down.

A bond's coupon is fixed when it's issued. When market yields move, the price is what adjusts: it's the coupons and the nominal value, each discounted at the market's yield.

How it works

The same sum with your numbers, step by step.

  1. Coupon each period

    100.00 × 5% ÷ 1 = 5.00

  2. Yield per period, and the number of periods

    6% ÷ 1 = 0.06 · n = 10 × 1 = 10

  3. Present value of the coupons

    5.00 × (1 − 1.06⁻¹⁰) ÷ 0.06 = 36.80

  4. Present value of the nominal value at redemption

    100.00 ÷ 1.06¹⁰ = 55.84

  5. Price: the two together

    36.80 + 55.84 = SAR 92.64

  6. Flat yield: the annual coupon divided by the price

    5.00 ÷ 92.64 = 5.40%
