    Yield to maturity = 1.96% (approx.)

    Explanation:

    Yield to maturity (YTM):

    Yield to maturity measures the annual return an investor would receive if he or she held a particular bond until maturity.

    Formula:

    Yield to maturity = {Coupon + (Face Value - Present Value or call price) / Years till call } / { (face value + Present Value or call price) / 2}

    As the company issues a callable (at par) ten-year, 6% coupon bond with annual coupon payments so

    per face value = $100.

    Years to maturity = 10 years.

    Coupon rate = 6%.

    Annual coupon payment = 0.6 * 100 = $6

    As on release, it has a price of $104 per $100 of face value so

    Present value of bond = $104

    Future value is = $100

    As the bond can be called at par in one year after release or any time after that on a coupon payment date.

    Therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

    Yield to maturity = {6 + (100 - 104) / 1 } / { (100 + 104) / 2}

    Yield to maturity = 1.96% (approx.)
