    YTM = 10.5%

    Explanation:

    Solution

    Given that:

    The cash flow related with the 5% bond are computed below:

    t = 0 1 (50) 2 (50) 3 (50) 4 (50) 5 (1050)

    Now,

    We calculate the discount factors which is given below:

    1 / 1 + r₁ = 920/1000 = 0.92

    1 / (1 + r₂) ² = 860/1000 = 0.86

    1 / (1 + r₃) ³ = 790/1000 = 0.79

    1 / (1 + r₄) ⁴ = 700/1000 = 0.7

    1 / (1 + r₅) ⁵ = 600/1000 0.6

    Thus,

    P₅% bond = 50 (0.92) + 50 (0.86) + 50 (0.79) + 50 (0.7) + 1050 (0.6)

    =$793. 50

    For the yield to maturity (YTM) is refereed to as the IRR of this bond.

    Now to solve for the YTM we have teh following.

    P₅% bond = 50/YTM ║ 1 - 1 / (1 + YTM) ⁵║ + 1000 / (1 + YTM) ⁵

    793.5 = 50/YTM ║ 1 - 1 / (1 + YTM) ⁵║ + 1000 / (1 + YTM) ⁵

    Therefore

    YTM = 10.5%

    Note: the present value of all coupons was computed by applying the annuity formula, also added the PV of the face value
