Answer:

8.60%

Explanation:

We use the RATE formula i.e shown on the attached spreadsheet

Data provided in the question

Present value = $1,1173.33

Future value or Face value = $1,000

PMT = 1,000 × 10.9% = $109

NPER = 7 years

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the yield to maturity is 8.60%
