    Annual Interest = $80

    Interest rate = 8.89%

    Explanation:

    The investor pays discounted price for this bond.

    We know, Annual Interest = Coupon payment/Market value

    Given,

    Coupon payment = Principal value*Coupon rate

    Coupon payment = $1,000*8% = $80

    Market value = Price pays for the bond = $900

    Therefore, the annual interest rate = $80/$900

    Annual Interest rate = 8.89%

    Note that, coupon payment is the annual interest rate.
