How do I define the “Coupon” within the function FinancialBond with a time-varying coupon @kguler, thanks for the way to see which of both functions is the fastest, but the first version (with Piecewise) doesn't work at all. That's to problem ! |

How do I define the “Coupon” within the function FinancialBond with a time-varying coupon @Eli Lansey, That's what I get : FindRoot[TimeValue[{"FaceValue" -> 100, "Coupon" -> (Piecewise[{{0.04125, #1 <= 3}, {0.06, 3 < #1 <= 5}, {0.0775, 5 < #1 <= 7}}] &), "Maturity" -> 7}, {"InterestRate" -> r, "Settlement" -> 0}] == 102.35, {r, 0.05}] FindRoot::nlnum: The function value {-102.35+TimeValue[{FaceValue->100.,Coupon->(Piecewise[{<<3>>}]&),Maturity->7.},{InterestRate->0.05,Settlement->0.}]} is not a list of numbers with dimensions {1} at {r} = {0.05}. >> |

How do I define the “Coupon” within the function FinancialBond with a time-varying coupon kguler & Eli Lansey, I've tried once again your approach, but it doesn't work. I still get the same error message I mentioned before. How can you say that it's about ten times faster when it doesn't work ? Can you send me the exact formulation so I can test it ? |

How do I define the “Coupon” within the function FinancialBond with a time-varying coupon Sorry again, I'm not accustomed with the return button ;o) FindRoot[FinancialBond[{"FaceValue"->100,"Coupon"->5,"Maturity"->5},{"InterestRate"->r,"Settlement"->0}]==104.25,{r,0.05}] gives the answer : {r->0.04415}. I want to be able to do it the same way but with a gradual coupon, so I can derive with the property "Rules" all the other characteristics (duration, convexity and so on). Is it possible ? |

How do I define the “Coupon” within the function FinancialBond with a time-varying coupon Sorry, I post it to quickly. When I try to solve the function sent before, this is the error message I get : FindRoot::nlnum: "The function value \!({(-104.25`) + FinancialBond[{\"FaceValue\" -> 100. , \"Coupon\" -> Piecewise[{<<3>>}] &, \"Maturity\" -> 7.}, {\"InterestRate\" -> 0.05`, \"Settlement\" -> 0.}]}\) is not a list of numbers with dimensions {1} at {r} = {0.05}." and nothing happens. When I use your Piecewise solution and give the appropriate yield, the function doesn't work either. |

How do I define the “Coupon” within the function FinancialBond with a time-varying coupon This is not what I need. I'm not talking about an interest specification, but about a coupon changing over time. How do I define the time-dependent coupon ? As a list, it should be {.04125,.04125,.04125,.06,.06,.0775,.0775}. How get I such a list in "Coupon" ->... The purpose is to calculate the yield of such a bond using FindRoot[...] where within the function FinancialBond, the "InterestRate"->r (unknown) and the FindRoot equals 1.0425 or 1042.5 if I start with a FaceValue of 1,000. That's my problem. |
