Answer:
8.55%
Explanation:
For computing the current yield first we have to determine the present value by applying the present value formula which is shown below:
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 8%
NPER = 7 years
PMT = $1,000 × 9% = $90
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
After solving this, the present value is $1,052.06
Now the current yield is
= PMT ÷ PV
= $90 ÷ $1,052.06
= 8.55%
