Explanation:
The yield to maturity is the return on the bond throughout the bond's tenure and can be computed using rate function in excel as shown below.
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of coupons the bond has left to pay(23 years*2)
pmt is the semiannual coupon of the bond=$1000*5.3%*6/12=26.5
pv is the curren price=$1000*105%=$1050
fv is the face value of the bond
=rate(46,26.5,-1050,1000)=2.47%
2.47% is the semiannual yield
annual yield=2.47%
*2=4.94%
