Expert Solution

Yield to maturity= 9.052121%

Current yield= 3.845%

Calculation as below:

Yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of interest (discount rate) at which present values of future cash inflows become equal to the present market value (price) of the bond. YTM is the expected rate of income (interest) that the investor receives out of this investment and it is dependant on the risk involved, in addition to the other factors.

YTM is higher than the coupon rate since the price is below par value (at a discount).

Current yield is the rate of return (annualized) currently available on the price. This is derived from the interest (coupon) received as percentage of price. Present value of redemption value is not factored in.
