Assume that a $1,000 bond issued in 2015 pays $100 in interest each year. what is the current yield on the bond if it can be purchased for $1,200? enter your answer in percent form and to one decimal place. for example, if your answer is 0.034 (3.4%) then enter 3.4

8.33%

Explanation:

Current yield of a bond is used to determine the annual rate of return of a bond that an investor holds. The formula for calculating it is as follows;

Current yield of a bond = annual coupon payment/  current price

Annual coupon payment = interest payment = $100

Current price = $1,200

Next, plug in the numbers to the above formula;

Current yield = 100/ 1,200

= 0.0833

As a percentage, multiply 0.0833 by 100;

=0.0833 *100

= 8.33%

Therefore, the current yield on the bond is 8.3% (to one decimal place.)

odd consecutive integers are odd integers that follow each other. they have a difference of 2 between every two numbers. if n is an odd integer, then n, n+2, n+4 and n+6 will be odd consecutive integers. the first number in the pattern is always the variable on its own or in this case, "n". examples.
