Let's calculate it. The current yield is the annual interest divided by the bond price, so it should be 8%.

Wait, how is the current yield for the $800 bond 12.5%? Isn't that just the nominal yield divided by the price?

I disagree, I believe the current yield would be 12.5% at that price.

I'm pretty sure the current yield for the $1,250 bond is 8%, not 9%. The 10% nominal yield divided by the $1,250 price gives you 8%.

I think the current yield would be 8% if the bond is priced at $1,250.
