                  K = Nx4
Bond Price =∑ [(Quarterly Coupon)/(1 + YTM/4)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM/4)^Nx4
                   k=1
 
                  K =5x4
897.07 =∑ [(17*1000/400)/(1 + YTM/400)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/400)^5x4
                   k=1
 
YTM% = 20.33
Using Calculator: press buttons "2ND"+"FV" then assign
 
PV =-897.07
PMT = Par value * coupon %/coupons per year=1000*17/(4*100)
 
N =5*4
FV =1000
CPT I/Y
Interest rate = I/Y*4
Using Excel
=RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv,type,guess)*no. of payments per year

=RATE(4*5,-17*1000/(4*100),897.07,-1000,,)*4
