    The Current yield on the bonds are calculated as:

    Current yield = Annual coupon payments / Current price

    Here, we assume the face value of the bond to be $1000

    Annual coupon payments are 10.6% of the face value or 0.106*1000 = 106

    Current price = 108.1% of the face value = 1.081 * 1000 = 1081

    Current Yield = 106/1081

    Current Yield = 0.098057 = 9.8057%

    Current Yield = 9.81% (Rounded to two decimals)
