Answer:

The yield to call is 5.07%

Step-by-step explanation:

The yield to call can be computed using the rate formula in excel,which is given as :=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of years to call which is 6 years

pmt is the annual interest coupon payable by the bond,which is :6.75%*$1000=$67.5

The pv is the current price at which the bond is offered to investors. i.e $1,135.25

fv is the price at the bond would be called in six years i.e par value+premium

par value is $1000

premium is $67.5

call price is $1067.5

=rate(6,67.5,-1135.25,1067.5)

rate=5.07%
