    Yield to maturity is 7.7%

    Explanation:

    Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity.

    Face value = F = $1,000

    Coupon payment = $1,000 x 8% = $80

    Selling price = P = $1,020.5

    Number of payment = n = 10 years

    Yield to maturity = [ C + (F - P) / n ] / [ (F + P) / 2 ]

    Yield to maturity = [ $80 + (1000 - 1020.5) / 10 ] / [ (1,000 + 1020.5) / 2 ]

    Yield to maturity = 77.95 / 1010.25

    Yield to maturity = 7.7%
