Ans:
As per approximation method,
YTM = Coupon amount + ((Face value - current price)/maturity period ) / 0.4 Face value + 0.6 Current price
Coupon amount = 1000× 8.75% = 87.5
Face value = $1000
Current price = $1189.16
Period = 15 years
YTM = 87.5 +((1000 - 1189.16)/15) / (1000×0.4 + 1189.16 × 0.6)
YTM = 87.5 - 12.610667 / (400 + 713.496)
YTM = 74.889333 / 1113.496
YTM = 0.06726 or 6.726%
Note : As question has not mentioned about specific method we used estimation or approximation method.
