    Coupon (R) = 6.4% x $1,000 = $64

    Semi-annual coupon = R/2 = $64/2 = $32

    Current market price (Po) = 94.31% x $1,000 = $943.10

    Current yield = R

    Po

    = $32

    $943.10

    = 0.0339 = 3.39%

    Explanation:

    The current yield on the bond is a function of coupon divided by the current market price. The coupon will be divided by 2 since the coupon is paid semi-annually.
