Answer:

YTM is 7.46%

Explanation:

Given:

Face value of bond (FV) = $1,000

Years to maturity (nper) = 10

Coupon rate = 10%

Coupon payment (pmt) = $100 (0.1×1,000)

Price of bond (PV) = $1,175

If the bonds are held till maturity, then yield to maturity is calculated using excel function =Rate(nper,pmt,PV,FV)

Yield of bond if held till maturity is 7.46%
