Answer:

C) 9.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Par value of the bond = $1000

Coupon rate = 5.25%

Years of maturity = 9

years to call = 3

price to call = 115% *  1000 = 1150

YTM of the bond = 0.0532

Using Excel formula:

The current price of the bond = P-V(0.0532/2, 9*2, 0.0525*1000/2, 1000)

= $995.04

The yield to call = 2 * RATE( 3*2, 0.0525*1000/2, 995.04, 1150)

The yield to calll = 9.86%
