00:01 So we have par value equal to 1000.
00:05 We have a price equal to 462.
00:10 We have a term of 25 years and we have no coupons, zero coupons.
00:22 So then the price will be equal to the par value times 1 plus the yield to maturity to the negative 25th.
00:35 And that means that if we put in our values here we get, let's see, our price was 462 and that then is equal to 1000 times 1 plus the yield to maturity to the negative 25th.
00:58 Dividing both sides by 1000 i get 0 .462 is equal to 1 plus the yield to maturity to the negative 25th...
