Respuesta :

Given: 
Coupon bond:
pays interest of $60 per annum
par value of $1,000
matures in 5 years
selling today at an $84.52 discount from par value.

The approximate yield to maturity formula that will be used is: 

Yield-To-Maturity  =  [C + (F - P / n)] ÷ [F+P/2]

Where: 

C - coupon or interest payment per annum

F - Face Value or par value

P - price

n - Years to Maturity


I used the above formula for manual computation. There is also an online yield to maturity calculator and it confirmed the answer solved manually. The Yield to Maturity is 8.124%
