Answer:

Yield to maturity=1098.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Yield to maturity=Return when the bond matures

Yield to maturity=market price+coupon rate

where;

Market price=875

Coupon rate=4.25% annually of market price for 6 years=(4.25/100)×875×6)=223.125

Replacing;

Yield to maturity=875+223.125=1098.125
