Suppose the following bond quotes for IOU Corporation appear in the financial page of today’s newspaper. Assume the bond has a face value of $1,000, makes semi-annual coupon payments, and the current date is October 31, 2017.

Company Ticker Coupon Rate Maturity Last Price (% of par) Last Yield Est Vol (000s)
IOU 7.1 October 31, 2035 104.21 ??? 2,321

 

What is the yield to maturity on the bond?
