    YTM is 7.77 % and YTC is 7.41 %

    Explanation:

    YTM stands for Yield to Maturity. It is refer to internal rate of return that bond holder will earn if he purchases the bond and keep it till its maturity period.

    YTM = [Interest payment + (Future Value - Present Value) / no. of years] / [ (Future value of bond + Present value of bond) / 2]

    Annual interest Payment = $ 90 i. e 9 % annual coupon

    No. of Years = 18

    Future value of bond = $ 1000

    Present value of bond = $ 1130.35

    YTM = [ $ 90 + ($1000-1130.35) / 18] / [ ($ 1000 + $ 1130.35) / 2]

    YTM = 7.77 % = Yield to Maturity

    Yield to Call : These are callable bond which the issuer can redeem at any time before maturity of the bond. It is denoted by YTC.

    Future value of bond when called = $ 1060

    The issuer may call it at 8 year.

    YTC = [Interest payment + (Future Value - Present Value) / no. of years] / [ (Future value of bond + Present value of bond) / 2]

    YTC = [ $ 90 + ($1060 - $ 1130.35) / 8] / [ ($ 1060 + $ 1130.35) / 2]

    YTC = 7.41 % = Yield to Call.
