Respuesta :

Answer:

10.33%

Explanation:

The computation of the current yield on the bonds is shown below:-

current yield on the bonds = Coupon bond ÷ Current price of bond

= (Par value × Coupon rate) ÷ (Par value × Current selling price percentage)

= ($1,000 × 11.2%) ÷ ($1,000 ÷ 108.4%)

= $112 ÷ $1,084

= 10.33%

Therefore we have applied the above formula.
