Respuesta :

Answer:

6.01%

Explanation:

We use the RATE formula to determine the yield to maturity that is shown in the attachment

Given that,  

Present value = $1,126

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 9% = $90

NPER = 5 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)  

The present value come in negative

Therefore, the yield to maturity is 6.01%
