Answer:
a. 4.89%
b. 5.23%
Explanation:
We use the rate formula which is shown in the attached spreadsheet
Given that,
Present value = $2,000 × 108.96% = $2,179.20
Future value or Face value = $2,000
PMT = $2,000 × 5.7% ÷ 2 = $57
NPER = 16 years × 2 = 32 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
a. The yield to maturity of the bond is 4.89%
b. The current yield would be
= 57 × 2 ÷ $2,179.20
= 5.23%
