Answer:
a. 5.87 percent
Explanation:
Annual coupon = 1000*6.5% = $65
Yield to maturity = [Annual coupon + (Face value-Present value)/time to maturity] / (Face value+Present value)/2
Yield to maturity = [65 + (1000-1,056)/13] / (1000+1,056) / 2
Yield to maturity = [65 + (-56/13)] / 2056/2 ]
Yield to maturity = {65 - 4.31] / 1028
Yield to maturity = 60.69 / 1028
Yield to maturity = 0.0590369649805447
Yield to maturity = 5.90%
