A current yield is a bond's annual return based on its current price. This is different from its original price and face value.
% yield is the amount obtained from a reaction divided by the amount that can possibly be obtained times 100.% yield=(actual yield/theoretical yield) * 100%actual yield=the real amount of product that is actually produced in the reaction.theoretical yield=the imaginary amount of product that is likely to form.
To yield to god, means to do only gods will.
The yield curve is the relationship between an interest rate and the time to maturity for a given debt. Typical debts may be U.S. Treasury debt instruments (T-Bills, T-Notes, etc.) or the LIBOR lending rate. A yield curve is normally upward sloping, where short term lending would pay a lower rate (since it incurs less risk on the part of the borrower) compared to longer term lending (which places more risk on the borrower). In general the longer amount of time the lender loans money, the more that it earns as a result. However, yield curves -- adjusted daily -- can vary in their shape depending on current economic conditions, long term market outlook, etc. A yield curve describes the 'yield to maturity' of a collection of similar bonds (rating wise) with different periods to maturity.

that means that 69.8 grams will be produced when the theoretical yield is 100 grams.
yield and look both ways
A current yield is a bond's annual return based on its current price. This is different from its original price and face value.
* yield to worst (to maturity or to call date) * current yield * coupon yield
Compute the current price of the bond if percent yield to maturity is 7%
The dividend yield is the ratio of the annual dividend amount to the current price of the stock. So if the dividend is $1 and the current price is $50, the yield is 2 percent ($1/$50). But when the stock changes price the current dividend changes accordingly.
Yield usually refers to yield to maturity. If a bond is trading at par it usually means the yield to maturity is equal to the coupon.
Annual interest divided by the current market price
Dividend Yield = Annual Dividend (usually previous 12 months)/Current or Purchase Price.
Bond Pricing. A 6 year circular file bond pays interest of $80 annually, and sells for $950. What are its coupon rate, Current yield, and yield maturity?
neither once the bond is created the yield is set. the bond price is simply a reflection of the current rate and the rate, 'yield' of the bond.
yes
Current yield is equal to the annual interest payment divided by the market price. It is the actual yield an investor will receive (instead of what is stated). For example, if a bond has a stated rate of 5 percent, but is selling below par, the investor would receive more than a 5 percent return. If the bond is selling above par, the current yield is actually less than 5 percent. Yield to maturity is the total return an investor will receive if the security is held until the maturity date, which is all of the annual interest payments and the difference between the original price and the principal you will receive at maturity. This formula is much more complicated but there are websites that will do it for you. Try moneychimp.com which has a calculator for the current yield and YTM.
Whichever radius you are referring to depends on yield.
