Answer 1

YTM= 8.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Year to maturity= 9 years

Coupon= 0.11*1,000= $110

Par value= $1,000

Selling price= $1,139.59

To calculate the yield to maturity, we need to use a financial calculator:

Function= CMPD

Set= End

n= 9

I= SOLVE = 8.7%

PV= 1,139.59

PMT= -110

FV= -1,000
