Yield to Maturity = [Coupon + Pro-rated Discount]/[(Purchase Price + Redemption Price)/2]

Where,

Coupon = 90

Pro Rated Discount = [(Redemption Price-Purchase Price)/Period to Maturity] = [(1000-900)/6] = 16.6667

Redemption Price (assuming at par) = 1000

Therefore, YTM = [90+16.6667]/[(900+1000)/2] = 106.6667/950 = 0.11228 which is equivalent to 11.5%
