    The yield to maturity of this bond is 6.55%

    Explanation:

    Yield to maturity is the rate of expected return on a bond which is held until the maturity. It is considered as a long term return and expressed in annual terms.

    According to given data

    Coupon payment = C = 100,000 x 5.7% = $5,700

    Face value = F = 100,000

    Price = P = 100,000 x 90% = 90,000

    Number of year to mature = 19

    Use following formula yo calculate YTM

    Yield to maturity = [ C + (F-P) / n ] / [ (F+P) / 2 ]

    Yield to maturity = [ $5,700 + (100,000-90,000) / 19 ] / [ (100,000+90,000) / 2 ]

    Yield to maturity = 6,226.32 / 95,000 = 0.0655 = 6.55%
