Yield to Maturity using R
...priced at 101. The yield to maturity can be calculated after solving the equation -     1010 = [100 / (1+ytm)]  + [100 / (1+ytm)^2] + [ 1100 / (1 + ytm)^3]    This can be solved by trial and error method s.t. ytm = 9.601%. I wanted to find out how to solve this equation in R.     ## SOLUTION   Mr. Elisson had given me following wonderful solution   f.ytm<-function(ytm) 100 / (1+ytm)  +100 / ((1+ytm)^2) + 1100 / ((1 + ytm)^3) -1010 uniroot(f.ytm, interval=c(0,25))  #$root has the answer   And I got the answer as 9.601.   ## _____________________________________________________________   I was...
