    E) 7.84%,7.80%,7.95%

    Explanation:

    Let Bond Face value = FV

    = 1000

    Semiannual bond So nper = 19*2

    = 38

    Coupon = 8%.

    SO PMT = 8%*1000/2

    = 40

    Current rice = PV

    = 102%*1000

    = 1020

    1. Current Yield = Coupon/Current prce

    = (2*40) / 1020

    = 7.84%

    2. YTM = 2*Rate (nper, pmt, pv, fv)

    (Rate is multuplied by 2 as it is semi bond.)

    = 2*Rate (39,40,-1020,1000)

    = 7.80%

    3. Effectve annual yield = (1+i/n) ^n-1

    where n is no of payment in a year

    = (1 + 8%/2) ^2 - 1

    = 7.95%

    Therefore, The current yield is 7.84%, The YTM is 7.80% and the effective annual yield is 7.95%
