    Yield to maturity is 6.6%

    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

    Assuming Coupon payments are made annually

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

    Selling price = P = $1,100

    Number of payment = n = 13 years

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

    Yield to maturity = [ $80 + (1000 - 1100) / 13 ] / [ (1,000 + 1100) / 2 ]

    Yield to maturity = [ $80 - 7.7 ] / 1100 = $72.3 / 1100 = 0.066 = 6.6%
