What is the Yield to Maturity (YTM)?

Answer: 3%

Working

Formula for calculating Yield To Maturity (YTM)

F (i.e. Face value) = $1000

P (i.e. current price) = 1085.30

N = period = 10 (5 year * 2 (i.e. semiannual coupon payment))

C (i.e. coupon)          = Face value * Coupon Rate

                                    = $1000 * 4%

                                    = $40

(Note: since coupons are paid semiannually so coupon rate will be 4% (i.e. 8% ÷2)
