    4.62%

    Explanation:

    we need to calculate the yield to maturity of the bond:

    YTM = [coupon + (face value - market value) / n] / [ (face value + market value) / 2]

    coupon = $50 face value = $1,000 market value = $1,078 n = 38 semiannual payments

    YTM = [$50 + ($1,000 - $1,078) / 38] / [ ($1,000 + $1,078) / 2]

    YTM = $47.95 / $1,039 = 4.615 ≈ 4.62%
