    The yield to call is 5.07%

    Explanation:

    The yield to call can be computed using the rate formula in excel, which is given as : =rate (nper, pmt,-pv, fv)

    nper is the number of years to call which is 6 years

    pmt is the annual interest coupon payable by the bond, which is : 6.75%*$1000=$67.5

    The pv is the current price at which the bond is offered to investors. i. e $1,135.25

    fv is the price at the bond would be called in six years i. e par value+premium

    par value is $1000

    premium is $67.5

    call price is $1067.5

    =rate (6,67.5,-1135.25,1067.5)

    rate=5.07%
