Answer:

The yield to maturity is 8.65%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the yield to maturity is as follows:

Given that

Future value = $1,000

Present value = $436.19

NPER = 10 years

PMT = $0

The formula is shown below:

=RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

The present value comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is 8.65%

Hence, the yield to maturity is 8.65%
