Answer:

The answer is 9.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of periods N = 9years(10 years minus 1 year ago)

Yield to Maturity (I/Y) = ?

Present value of the bond (PV) = $950.70

Future value of the bond(FV) = $1,000

Annual payment (PMT) = $90 (9% x $1,000)

Using a financial calculator to solve the problem ( BA II plus Texas instruments):

Yield to Maturity (I/Y) = 9.85%
