YTM if market price is 887 = 10.7366190%
YTM if market price is 1,134.2= 7.1764596%
Explanation:
For the YTM we can calculate an estimated using the following formula:
Where:
C= coupon payment 1,000 x 9% = 90
F= face value of the bonds = 1000
P= market price = 887
n= years to maturity = 10
YTM = 10.7366190%
C= 90
F= 1000
P= 1134.2
n= 10
YTM = 7.1764596%
