    Current yield=5.6%

    Explanation:

    The current yield is the proportion of the current price of a bond earned as annual interest payment.

    Current yield = annual interest payment/bond price

    Annual interest payment = coupon rate * face value

    = 5.44% * $2000

    = $108.8

    Current yield

    = annual interest payment/price

    = $ (108.8/1,930.36) * 100

    = 5.6%

    Note we used the annual interest payment nothwithstanding that interests are paid semi-annually
