    The current yield if the bind has been purchased yesterday is 9.79%

    Explanation:

    The formula for current yield is given as:

    current yield = annual interest rate / current market price

    The annual interest rate is 10%, which translates into 10% of the par value of $100, that is $10

    Current market price today is $101 3/8, which is the same $101+$0.375 = $101.375

    The price is 3/4 less than yesterday's price

    Yesterday's price = $101.375+$0.75

    Yesterday's price=$102.13

    Yesterday's yield=10/102.13

    yesterday's yield = 9.79%
