Answer:

E) 7.84%,7.80%,7.95%

Explanation:

Let Bond Face value = FV

                                   = 1000

Semiannual bond So nper = 19*2

                                            = 38

Coupon = 8%.  

SO PMT = 8%*1000/2

              = 40

Current rice = PV

                    = 102%*1000

                    = 1020

1. Current Yield = Coupon/Current prce

                          = (2*40)/1020

                          = 7.84%

2. YTM = 2*Rate(nper,pmt,pv,fv)

(Rate is multuplied by 2 as it is semi bond.)

            = 2*Rate(39,40,-1020,1000)

            = 7.80%

3. Effectve annual yield = (1+i/n)^n-1

where n is no of payment in a year

                                       = (1 + 8%/2)^2 - 1

                                       = 7.95%

Therefore, The current yield is 7.84%, The YTM is 7.80% and the effective annual yield is 7.95%
