    The question is missing below options:

    A. 5.73 years

    B. 4.19 years

    C. 7.41 years

    D. 6.16 years

    E. 8.32 years

    The correct option is A, 5.73 years

    Explanation:

    The number of years the matures can be determined using the nper formula in excel.

    =nper (rate, pmt,-pv, fv)

    rate is the yield to maturity on the bond which is given as 13.2%

    pmt is the periodic coupon interest payable by the bond, which is calculated as: 6.5%*$1000=$65

    pv is the current price of the bond which is $742

    fv is the bond value receivable by investors upon maturity of the bond and it is $1000

    =nper (13.2%,65,-742,1000)

    nper=5.73

    This could mean 6 years but the options above were stated to reflect two decimal places
