Answer:
The answer is 5.47 percent
Explanation:
Firstly, we find coupon payment (PMT).
it can be gotten from the price (present value) of bond formula:
PV = PMT/(1+r)^1 + PMT/(1+r)^2 ....... PMT + FV/(1+r)^n
N = 10.5 years
1/Y = 6.2 percent
PV = $945
PMT = ?
FV = $1000
Using a Financial calculator to input all the variables above,
Annual PMT = $54.72
Semi annual will be $54.72/2= $27.36
Coupon rate is Annual PMT /par value
= $54.72/1000
0.0547 or 5.47 percent
