A ten-year bond pays 11 % interest on a $1000 face value annually. If it currently sells for $1,195, what is its approximate yield to maturity
"Yield" or "YTM" ("Yield to Maturity")
A zero-coupon note is a note which pays at maturity the value of the note with no separate interest payments.
Bonds are valued by discounting the coupon payments and the final repayment by the yield to maturity on comparable bonds. The bond payments discounted at the bond’s yield to maturity equal the bond price. You may also start with the bond price and ask what interest rate the bond offers. This interest rate that equates the present value of bond payments to the bond price is the yield to maturity. Because present values are lower when discount rates are higher, price and yield to maturity vary inversely.

Bonds trade at a premium or discount based on the interest rate demanded by the markets for that specific maturity, credit quality, and details vs. the rate demanded at the time of issue. - Example: Trading at a Discount - For example, the 4.5% US Government bond maturity 02/15/16 is currently trading at a discount. At issuance, you could buy this bond for $100.00 and receive $4.50 every year in interest. However, interest rates are higher today than they were when the bond was issued (currently 4.85% for this maturity/credit quality). Therefore, to receive 4.85% in interest, you must pay less than 100 for the bond you would have paid at issuance. The reverse is true for bonds trading at a premium. If the interest rate had fallen to 4.00%, you would be willing to pay more than 100.00 for the bond.
