Answer:

So yield to maturity will be 11.1 %

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given final value FV = $1000

Current price = $900

Time is given t = 1 year

We have to find the rate of interest

Future value is given by


A=P(1+(r)/(100))^n, here A is future value and P is current price

So
1000=900(1+(r)/(100))^1


1.111=1+0.01r


0.111=0.01r

r = 11.1 %
