The annual YTM will be 3.07% if the bonds make semiannual payments and sell for 94 percent of par value.
Given data
Coupon rate (CR) = 5.4%
Current price (B0) = 94%
Assuming maturity value (MV) = 100%
Years to maturity (n) = 15.
YTM = CR + ((MV − B0)/n) / ((MV + B0)/2)
YTM = 5.4% + (100% - 94%)/15) / (100% + 94%)/2)
YTM = 0.054 + (-0.03866666666) / 0.97
YTM = 0.01533333334 / 0.97
YTM = 0.015333 * 2
YTM = 0.030666
YTM = 3.07%
In conclusion, the annual YTM will be 3.07% if the bonds make semiannual payments and sell for 94 percent of par value.
