What is yield?

Yield can be defined as a measure of the income returned or earned from an investment such as the interest earned from holding a corporate bond.

Mathematically, the yield on an investment can be calculated by using this formula:

Yield = Interest paid/Price paid

However, we would need to determine the interest paid as follows:

Interest paid = value of bond × Interest rate

Interest paid = 1000 × 0.08

Interest paid = $80.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Yield = Interest paid/Price paid

Yield = 80/875 × 100

Yield = 9.14%.
