You own a bond with an annual coupon rate of 5% maturing in two
years and priced at 86%. Suppose that there is a 8% chance that at
maturity the bond will default and you will receive only 44% of the
promised payment. Assume a face value of $1,000.

a. What is the bond’s promised yield to
maturity? (Enter your answer as a
percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
13.44 IS THE CORRECT ANSWER HERE
b. What is its expected yield (i.e., the
possible yields weighted by their
probabilities)? (Enter your answer as
a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
