= 7.34%
(c) Issue price of bond is $1,000 and current maturity price is $1,061.24. Thus, bond price is greater than the par value.
(d) Current yield is the return on bond at current price. Yield to maturity is 6.588 % and current yield is 7.34%. Since the current price is more than the par value, therefore, YTM is lower than the current yield.
