Dear R helpers
 
I am calculating the 'Yield to Maturity' for the Bond with following characteristics.
 
Its a $1000 face value, 3 year bond with 10% annual coupon and is 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%.
 
My query is (1) if there is any R package which will calcualte ytm or (2) is there any method in 'R' which can solve the above equation.
 
Thanking you all in advance
 
Regards
 
Madhavi
