Galt industries has just issued a callable, $1000 par value, five-year, 6% coupon bond with semiannual coupon payments. the bond can be called at par in three years or anytime thereafter on a coupon payment date. if the bond is currently trading for $978.94, then its yield to maturity is closest to:

6.50%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.  

Given that,  

Present value = $978.94

Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 6% ÷ 2 = $30

NPER = 5 years × 2 = 10 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this,  the answer would be 6.50%
