    Explanation:

    the approximate yield to maturity (YTM) formula is:

    approximate YTM = {C + [ (FV - PV) / n]} / [ (FV + PV) / 2]

    C = coupon payment = $130 FV = face value or value at maturity = $1,000 PV = present value or current market value = $690 n = 10 years

    approximate YTM = {$130 + [ ($1,000 - $690) / 10]} / [ ($1,000 + $690) / 2] = ($130 + $31) / $845 = $161 / $845 = 0.1905 or 19.05%
