Four years ago your firm issued a $1,000 par bond with a 4% semi-annual coupon and 20 years to maturity. The bond is now priced at $860. What is the current yield to maturity of the bond?

the current yield to maturity of the bond is 5.31%

Explanation:

The computation of the yield to maturity is shown below:

Given that

Future value = $1,000

Present value = $860

NPER = (20 - 4) × 2 = 16

PMT = $1,000 × 4% ÷ 2 = $20

The formula is shown below:

= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

The present values comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the yield to maturity is

= 2.6548% × 2

= 5.31%

Hence, the current yield to maturity of the bond is 5.31%
