Answer:

6.37%

Step-by-step explanation:

Annual yield is the annual dividend yield of a bond.

Formula for annual yield = Annual dividend amount / Current price of the bond

Annual dividend amount = Annual interest rate * Face value

= 6% * $5,000

= $300

Current price = 94.125 means that the bond price is 94.125% of the Face value

Current price = 0.94125* 5000 = $4,706.25

Therefore, annual yield = 300/4,706.25 = 0.0637 or 6.37%
