    The yield to maturity is 6.67%

    Explanation:

    Yield to maturity is the rate of return that a bond holder will earn if the bond is held until maturity. It is a long term return value but expressed in annual rate figure.

    Selling price = ¥100,000 x 93% = ¥93,000

    YTM = [ C + (F - P) / n ] / [ (F + P) / 2 ]

    YTM = [ ¥6,000 + (¥100,000 - ¥93,000) / 16 ] / [ (¥100,000 + ¥93,000) / 2 ]

    YTM = ¥6,437.5 / ¥96,500

    YTM = 0.0667

    YTM = 6.67%
