The current yield for bond P is 5.38%.

Current value of bond = Face value/(1+ YTM)^n

Assuming the face value of the bond is $1,000 and substituting the values in the formula we get,

Current value of bond =$1,000/((1+6.2%)^7)

=$1,523.60

Annual coupon payment of Bond P = par value x coupon rate

Substituting the values in the formula we get,

Annual coupon payment of Bond P = $1,000 x 8.2% = $82

The current yield of bond = annual coupon payment/ current value of bond

Substituting the values in the formula we get,

Current yield of bond = $82/ $1,523.60

= 5.38%

Hence, the current yield for bond P is 5.38%.
