Face Value of Bond = $1000

Semi-annual coupon payment = $1000*5%*1/2 = $25

No of coupon Payment = No of years to maturity*2 = 20 years*2

= $40

Current Price = $1110

Calculating the Semi-Annual Yield to maturity of Bond using the Excel "RATE" function:-

 

Semi-Annual Yield to maturity = 2.0914%

Annual Yield to maturity = 2.0914%*2

Annual Yield to maturity = 4.18%

So, the bond's annual yield-to maturity is 4.18%
