Answer:

the yield to maturity is 5.08%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the YTM of the bond is shown below:

Given that

NPER = 16 years

PMT = $1,000 × 5.2% = $52

PV = $1,012.50

FV = $1,000

The formula is shown below:

= RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)

After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is 5.08%

Hence, the yield to maturity is 5.08%
