Answer:

The yield to maturity is 9.127%

Explanation:

The yield to maturity is the yield or return on the bond as a percentage of its current price in the market. The formula to calculate the yield to maturity is:

YTM = C + {(F - P) / n}  /  {(F + P) / 2}

Where,

  • C is the coupon payment / interest payment on the bond
  • F is the face value of the bond
  • P is the current market price of the bond
  • n is the years to maturity

The coupon payment = 1000 * 0.113 = 113 per year

So, YTM =  113 + {(1000 - 1127.3) / 8}  /  {(1000 + 1127.3) / 2}

YTM = 0.09127 or 9.127%
