Answer:

Yield to maturity is 7.7%

Explanation:

Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity.

Face value = F = $1,000

Coupon payment = $1,000 x 8% = $80

Selling price = P = $1,020.5

Number of payment = n = 10 years

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $80 + ( 1000 - 1020.5 ) / 10 ] / [ ( 1,000 + 1020.5 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = 77.95 / 1010.25

Yield to maturity = 7.7%
