    Answer: 11.14%

    Explanation:

    Buying price of bond = $936.05 - PV

    Years investment held = n = 5*2

    Rate of the Coupon = C = 8.4%

    Frequency of payment = m = 2

    Annual coupon = $1,000 * (0.084/2) = $42

    Realized yield = i

    Selling price of bond = PB = $1,048.77 = FV

    Enter N = 10, PMT = $42, PV = - $936.05$, FV = 1,048.77

    Answer 5.425%

    The effective annual yield can be computed as:

    EAY = (1 + Quoted m) ^m - 1

    = (1+0.054) ^2 - 1

    = (1.054) ^2 - 1

    =0.1114 = 11.14
