Respuesta :

Answer:

10.16%

Explanation:

Coupon amount = 11% * 1000

Coupon amount = $110

Price of bond = 1000*108.3%

Price of bond = $1,083

Current yield = Coupon amount / Price of bond

Current yield = $110 / $1,083

Current yield = 0.1015697

Current yield = 10.16%

So, the current yield on the bonds is 10.16%.
