The answer is d. 7.45%

Explanation:

B = Current Price of the Bonds  $1,280

C = Coupon payment paid out annually  $135

CP = Call price   $1,050.

T= number of years pending until the call date 5 years

Yield to Call Formula = (C/2) * {(1- ( 1 + YTC/2)^-2t) / (YTC/2)} + (CP/1 + YTC/2)^2t)

$1,280  = ($135/2) * {(1- ( 1 + YTC/2)^-10) / (YTC/2)} +($1,050 /1 + YTC/2)^10) = 7.45%
