What is the current yield? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Current yield ____ %

Answer 1

Yield to Maturity = 9.70%

Using financial calculator BA II Plus - Input details:	#
FV = Future Value / Face Value =	-$1,000.00
PV = Present Value = 1000 x 91.655% =	$916.55
N = Total number of periods = Number of years x frequency =	18
PMT = Payment = Coupon / frequency =	-$87.00
CPT > I/Y = Rate per period or YTM per period =	9.6979
Convert Yield in annual and percentage form = Yield*frequency / 100 =	9.70%

Current yield = 9.49%

Current Yield = PMT / PV = 87/ 916.55 =

9.49%
