Expert Solution

The selling price today is $1,000 which is equal to the face value of the bond. So, the bond is selling at par. The par bonds have an yield to maturity equal to the coupon rate.

The yield to maturity = 8.4%

Effective annual yield = (1 + 0.084/2)^2 - 1

Effective annual yield = 1.085764 - 1

Effective annual yield = 0.085764

Effective annual yield = 8.5764%

Effective annual yield = 8.58%
