Expert Solution

Solution :

As per the Information given in the question we have

a. Coupon rate = 6 % ; b. Par Value = $ 1,000

c. Annual coupon Payment = $ 1,000 * 6 % = $ 60

d. Current Price of the bond = $ 788.4731

(Please find the attached screenshot of the excel sheet containing the detailed calculation for the price of the bond )

We know that current yield = ( Annual coupon payment / Current Price of the bond )

Thus applying the above values in the formula for current yield we have

= $ 60 / $ 788.4731

= 7.6096 %

= 7.61 % ( when rounded off to two decimal places)

Thus the Current yield of the bond = 7.61 %

Please find the attached screenshot of the excel sheet containing the detailed calculation for the solution.
