    Answer: the yield to maturity and yield to call on BTR Co.'s bonds are:

    YTM = 0.07507 (7.507%)

    YTC = 0.06977 (6.977%)

    Explanation:

    Using yield to maturity formula below;

    YTM = C + (fv - pv) / n : (fv+pv) / 2

    C = coupon rate; 9% of par value

    9% of $1000

    = 9/100 * 1000 = $90

    fv = face value/par value = $1,000

    pv = price value/market price = $1,160.35

    n = number of years to maturity = 18

    YTM = 90 + (1000 - 1160.35) / 18 : (1000+1160.35) / 2

    YTM = 90 + (-160.35) / 18 : (2160.35) / 2

    YTM = 90 + (-8.90833333)

    : 1080.175

    YTM = 81.0916667 : 1080.175

    YTM = 0.07507

    = 7.507% (converted to percentage)

    To calculate the yield to call, let s make use of the yield to call (YTC) formula below;

    YTC = C + (cp - mp) / n : (cp + mp) / 2

    C = coupon rate = $90

    cp = call price = $1,060

    mp = market price/price value = $1,160.35

    n = number of years to call = 8

    YTC = 90 + (1060-1160.35) / 8 : (1060+1160.35) / 2

    YTC = 90 + (-100.35) / 8 : (2220.35) / 2

    YTC = 90 - 12.54375 : 1110.175

    YTC = 77.45625 : 1110.175

    YTC = 0.06977

    = 6.977% in percentage
