Yield to maturity can be used in estimating whether buying a bond is a good investment. An investor will determine the required yield and compare to yield to maturity to determine whether the bond is a good buy
The yield to maturity can be used to compare bonds with different maturities and coupons since yield to maturity expresses the value of bonds in the same annual terms
