D is the correct answer. We don't have enough information to determine the yield-to-maturity without knowing the current market price of the bond.

I’m a bit confused. I thought yield-to-maturity could be indeterminable sometimes, but this seems straightforward. I lean towards C, but I’m not 100% sure.

I practiced a similar question where the bond was at a discount, and the yield was higher than the coupon rate. But here, since it's at face value, I think it should be C.

I remember that when a bond sells at face value, the yield-to-maturity is usually equal to the coupon rate. So, I think it might be C.

I've got this! If the bond is selling at par, then the yield-to-maturity has to be equal to the coupon rate. The answer is C.

Okay, let me think this through. The bond is paying an 8% coupon and is selling at its face value of $1,000. So the yield-to-maturity must be equal to the coupon rate of 8%. I'll go with C.
