Answer:

Yield to maturity =11.75%

Explanation:

The yield to maturity to Maturity van be worked out using the formula below:

YM =( C + F-P/n)  ÷  ( 1/2× (F+P))

C- annual coupon,

F- face value ,

P- current price,

n- number of years to maturity

YM - Yield to maturity

C- 8%× 1000 = 80, P- 878.31, F- 1000

AYM =  80 + (1000-878.31)/4  ÷  1/2×  (1000+878.31)

        = 110.4225    ÷ 939.155

       = 11.75%

Yield to maturity =11.75%
