    (a) 5.5%

    Explanation:

    Yield-to-maturity (YTM) is the discounting rate for calculating the present value of bond & coupon received.

    Bond price = Present value of interest received + present value of bond

    ⇔ 1040 = 70 / (1 + YTM) ^3+70 / (1 + YTM) ^2+70 / (1 + YTM) + 1000 / (1+YTM) 3

    It's really difficult to solve above equalation, then we try every hint provived.

    (a) 5.5% - >True

    70 / (1 + 5.5%) ^3+70 / (1 + 5.5%) ^2+70 / (1 + 5.5%) + 1000 / (1+5.5%) ^3 = 1040

    (b) 4.9%

    70 / (1 + 4.9%) ^3+70 / (1 + 4.9%) ^2+70 / (1 + 4.9%) + 1000 / (1+4.9%) ^3 = 1057

    (c) 6.4%

    70 / (1 + 6.4%) ^3+70 / (1 + 6.4%) ^2+70 / (1 + 6.4%) + 1000 / (1+6.4%) ^3 = 1016

    (d) 6.8%

    70 / (1 + 6.8%) ^3+70 / (1 + 6.8%) ^2+70 / (1 + 6.8%) + 1000 / (1+6.8%) ^3 = 1005

    (e) 7.4%.

    70 / (1 + 7.4%) ^3+70 / (1 + 7.4%) ^2+70 / (1 + 7.4%) + 1000 / (1+7.4%) ^3 = 990

    a) 5.5 %

    Explanation:

    Given FV = $1000, P = $1040, n = 3 YAERS, C = $70, YTM = ?

    YTM Formula

    = C+F-P/n:F+P/2

    =70+1000-1040/3:1000+1040/2

    =5.5%
