Answer:
13.16%
Explanation:
In this question we use the RATE formula i.e shown in the attached spreadsheet
Given that, Â
Present value = $725
Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000 Â
PMT = 1,000 × 9% ÷ 2 = $45
NPER = 16 years × 2 = 32 years
The formula is shown below: Â
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type) Â
The present value come in negative Â
So, after solving this, the yield to maturity is 6.58% × 2 = 13.16%
