7.71%
8%
2%
3.85%
4%
Answer is 7.71%
Face Value = $1,000
Current Price = $980
Annual YTM = 8.00%
Semiannual YTM = 4.00%
Time to Maturity = 10 years
Semiannual Period = 20
Let Semiannual Coupon be $C
$980 = $C * PVIFA(4.00%, 20) + $1,000 * PVIF(4.00%, 20)
$980 = $C * (1 - (1/1.04)^20) / 0.04 + $1,000 / 1.04^20
$980 = $C * 13.590326 + $456.386946
$C * 13.590326 = $523.613054
$C = $38.53
Semiannual Coupon = $38.53
Annual Coupon = 2 * $38.53
Annual Coupon = $77.06
Coupon Rate = Annual Coupon / Face Value
Coupon Rate = $77.06 / $1,000
Coupon Rate = 0.07706 or 7.706% or 7.71%
