where C = Coupon Rate/ Interest Rate
F = Face Value
P = Maturity Price
n = Years to maturity
According to the question, C = 5 1/2 % = 5.5% = $1000 * 5.5% = $55
F = $1000
P = $1024
n = 12 years
Approx YTM = 55 + {(1000 - 1024) / 12} / (1000 + 1024)/2
= (55 - 2) / 1024
= 53 / 1012
= 0.0524
= 5.24%
Therefore, AYTM of Builtrite bond is 5.24%
