5.18%
5.27%
5.39%
5.58%
Answer:5.39%
The Yield to call can be computed using the excel function=RATE()
Here the number of years to call =5
The Face Value=$100,callable price=$110 The price of the bond =$106
The bond has a coupon payment(annual)of $5
The Yield to Call can be computed using the formula=RATE(5,B4,-B6,B1) we get YTC as 5.39%
