Answer:
5.175%
Explanation:
Given that:-
Par value = $1,000
Market value = $1,043.47
Semi-annual coupon = $27.00
The computation of current yield is given below :-
So, the annual coupon
= Semi-annual coupon × semi annual basis
= $27.00 × 2
= $54
So, the current yield
= Annual coupon ÷ Market value × 100
= $54 ÷ $1,043.47 × 100
= 5.175%
