Answer :

2.5%

Step by Step Explanation:

Face value = $500

Coupon yield = 2%

Income earned on he bond each year is at the rate of 2%.

Annual coupon = $10

Current bond price = $400

Formula for current yield = [tex]\frac{Annual coupon amount}{Current bond price}[/tex]

                                        = [tex]\frac{10}{400}[/tex] ×100

                                        =  2.5%

Hence, the current yield is 2.5%
