Computation of Bond's Yield to Maturity using Rate Function in Excel:

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

Here,

Rate = Yield to Maturity = ?

Nper = 16 years*2 = 32 Periods 

PMT = $1,000*11%/2 = $55

PV = $825

FV = $1,000

Substituting the values in formula:

=rate(32,55,-825,1000)*2 

Rate or Yield to Maturity = 13.73%
