    YTM of the bond is 4.08%

    Explanation:

    Given FV = $1000, Cr = 6.25%, n = 15 years, p = $1249 YTM = ?

    The formula for calculating the YTM

    = C+F-P:n/F+P:2

    Solve C = bond makes annual coupon payments

    6.25*1000=$62.5

    Plug the values in the formula

    62.5+1000-1249:15 / 1000+1249:2

    =0.0408/4.08%
