Answer:
Face Value = $1,000
Current Price = $725
Annual Coupon Rate = 9%
Semiannual Coupon Rate = 4.50%
Semiannual Coupon = 4.50% * $1,000 = $45
Time to Maturity = 11 years
Semiannual Period to Maturity = 22
Let semiannual YTM be i%
$725 = $45 * PVIFA(i%, 22) + $1,000 * PVIF(i%, 22)
Using financial calculator:
N = 22
PV = -725
PMT = 45
FV = 1000
I = 6.98%
Semiannual YTM = 6.98%
Annual YTM = 2 * 6.98%
Annual YTM = 13.96%
The Yield to maturity of the Bond is 13.96%.
