Abstract

This paper re-works the traditional formula for pricing a bond with a present value annuity and a single discounted cash flow into a "one-step' bond pricing formula. The new derivation allows for a clear presentation of the relationship between a bond's coupon yield and its yield to maturity and a quick means for pricing a bond.
