Current Price = 848
Coupon 7.80%
Maturity = 23 years
SInce the Current Price of Bond > Par Value, the TYM will be less than Coupon.
Let's assume the YTM be 9%
Value of Bond =
=
= 885.04
Now,
Let's assume the YTM be 10%
Value of Bond =
=
= 804.57
YTM =
= 9% + ((885.04 - 848) / (885.04 - 848) + (848 - 804.57)) * (10-9)
= 9% + 0.44
= 9.44%
