    The current yield of the bond is 7.89%

    Explanation:

    The current yield is calculated by dividing the coupon payment by the price of the bond. To solve this question we first need to calculate the price of the bond. We will input the following in a financial calculator to find the price of the bond.

    FV = 1,000

    PMT = 0.082*1,000=82

    N=11.5

    I = 7.67

    Compute PV=1,039

    Now that we know the price we will divide the coupon payment which is 82 by the price which is 1,039.

    82/1,039=0.0789=7.89%
