Explanation / Answer

YTM i Yield to Maturity

YTM = (Face Value / Current Price of Bond) ^ (1 / Years to Maturity) - 1

Face value = $1000

Current Price = $469

Years to maturity = 10Years

YTM = ((1000/469) ^ (1/10)) -1

         = (2.1322 ^ 0.1) - 1

         = 1.0787 - 1

         = 0.0787

         = 7.87%   Answer
