STatiana [176]

Answer:

6.35%

Explanation:

If you purchase this bond you will need to pay $1,000 x 136.04% = $1,360.40

the coupon rate is 9.5% / 2 = 4.75% or $47.50 every six months

the bond matures in 18 years or 36 semiannual periods

yield to maturity = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]

YTM = {47.5 + [(1,000 - 1,360.4)/36]} / [(1,000 + 1,360.4)/2]

YTM = 37.49 / 1,180.2 = 0.031766 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.06353 = 6.35%
