Is current Market Rate of Interest the same as yield to maturity?
It depends. YTM is calculated in the same way as IRR. You take all future cash flows and discout it by x% and equate to current market price. Then you solve for x% and what you get will be YTM. So if current price of bond is calculated by current market rate of interest than YTM=Current Market Rate of Interest. How ever bond price not always is equal to that price. Very often current yield(coupon/current market price) is different from current rate of interest. In such case YTM will differ from Current Market Rate of Interest.

Measures of Bond Yields – Current Yield?
If you’re investing in bonds you need to understand a bit about yield measures for fixed income assets. It’s not as straightforward as looking at a money market yield or an APY on a savings account. The reason is that bonds represent a series of cash flows extended over a period of time. The time dimension adds the complexity of present value math into the equation. One measure that bondholders often use to evaluate bonds is the current yield. The current yield looks at the amount of coupon interest earned in a year in relation to the market price of the bond. It can give an investor an idea of the amount they will earn in interest compared to the price they would pay to invest in a particular bond.The calculation for the current yield is a simple one: current yield = annual dollar amount of coupon interest / market price of the bond. (The following example is taken from the book Fixed Income Mathematics by Frank J. Fabozzi.) Consider the case of a bond with an 18 year term that pays a 6% annual coupon. Let’s assume the price paid for the bond is $700.89. In this case the calculation would be the annual coupon interest of $60 (par value of $1,000 * .06) divided by the market price of $700.89. The resulting current yield is 8.56%. The current yield calculation can give an investor a quick way to analyze and compare individual bonds prior to putting their money down on the table. Using the current yield as a metric does have one drawback that should be considered. The current yield only takes into account the coupon and the market price. It doesn’t consider the timing of the cash flows or any capital gain (or loss) at time of the bond’s maturity. So investors can use the current yield as a quick comparison, but should be warned about solely using it to compare investment opportunities. Next time, I’ll discuss another measure of bond yields called the Yield to Maturity. The Yield to Maturity considers additional elements that the current yield does not and can be a better metric to compare bond to bond.
Difference between coupon rate and yield to maturity?
The coupon rate is the actually stated interest rate. This is the rate earned on a NEW issue bond. The yield to maturity takes into consideration the purchase price of a bond bought in the secondary market. For example, if you buy a $1,000 bond for $1100 which matures in 10 years and has a coupon of 5%, your coupon is 5%, but your yield to maturity would be closer to 4% because you paid $1100, but will only get back $1,000 at maturity (losing $100). The "loss" reduces the return.
How do you find bonds yield?

Why would a firm in a perfectly competitive market always choose to set its price equal to the current market price?
Because if it set its price higher than the current market price, it would not sell anything; and if it set its price lower than the current price, it would sell all of its product, but it would not make an economic profit. Understand, however, that this does not happen in real life, because in real life, there is no such thing as a perfectly competitive market.
