Expert Solution

1). We can calculate the yield to maturity by using the following formula in excel:-

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

Here,

Rate = Yield to maturity

Nper = 9 periods

Pmt = Coupon payment = $1,000*9% = $90

PV = $910.30

FV = $1,000

Substituting the values in formula:

= rate(9,90,-910.30,1000)

= 10.59%

 

2). Computation of the expected current yield:-

Current yield = Annual coupon payment / Current price of the bond

= $1,000*9% / $910.30

= 9.89%

 

3). Computation of the expected capital gain yield:-

Capital gain yield = Yield to maturity - Current yield

= 10.59% - 9.89%

= 0.71%
