2. You are now considering adding a corporate bond to your investment portfolio. The bond was issued last year to have 10 years to maturity (so it has 9 years remaining to maturity from today) The bond has an 8% coupon, and was sold at par ($1,000) when it was issued last year. As the market interest rates went up over the last year, the bond’s current price has fallen to $901.40.

(A). What is the YTM now?
