6. yield to maturity: lợi suất đáo hạn
7. face value = par value = book value: mệnh giá, giá trị danh nghĩa, giá trị sổ sách

II. Answer the questions


Task 1: Define interest rate? How many types of interest rate? Differentiate these rates and
give examples?
10. Interest rate: is the cost of borrowing money. It is normally expressed as a percentage
rate over the period of one year. Interest rate is also the compensation for the service
and risk of lending money. Without interest, people would not be willing to lend or
even save their cash, both of which require a deferment of the opportunity to give up
spending in the present.
11. There are 2 types of interest rate: real interest rate and nominal interest rate
 Real interest rate: measures the purchasing power of interest receipts which is
calculated by adjusting the nominal rate charged to take inflation into account.
Ex: Nominal interest rate is 10%. Inflation in the economy has been 10% in the year.
Then the $110 in the account at year end buys the same amount as the $100 did a year
ago. The real interest rate in this case is 0
 Nominal interest rate: the amount of interest payable.
Ex: A household deposits $100 with a bank for 1 year. They receive interest of $10.
At the end of the year, their balance is $110. In this case, the nominal interest rate is
10% per annum.
Tài liệu ôn tập TA TCNH Bùi Tùng Dương – K52 TCNH - FTU

Task 2: How are interest rates are determined?


Interest rates are determined by 3 ways:
12. Supply and demand: Interest rate levels are a factor of supply and demand of credit.
An increase in demand for credit will raise interest rates while a decrease in demand
for credit will decrease them. Conversely, an increase in supply of credit will reduce
IRs. while a decrease in supply of credit will increase them.
13. Inflation: Inflation will also affect IR levels. The higher the rate of inflation, the more
IRs is likely to rise. Lenders will demand higher IRs as compensation for the decrease
in the purchasing power of the money they will be repaid in the future
14. Government: when the government buys more securities, banks are injected with
more money than they can use for lending and the IRs then decrease. When it sells
securities, money from banks is drained for the transaction, rendering less funds at the
banks’ disposal for lending, forcing a rise in IRs.
Task 3: Differentiate between coupon rate and yield to maturity(YTM)
15. Coupon rate: Coupon rate is the yield paid by a fixed income security. The coupon
rate is the yield the bond paid on its issue date. This yield, however, will change as
the value of the bond changes, thus giving the bond's yield to maturity
16. YTM: Yield to maturity is the rate of return anticipated on a bond if held until the end
of its lifetime. The YTM calculation takes into account the bond’s current market
price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity. It is also assumed that all
coupon payments are reinvested at the same rate as the bond’s current yield. YTM is
a complex but accurate calculation of a bond’s return that helps investors compare
bonds with different maturities and coupons
