Hey,
This question is from the vault PE guide. I can't really understand the answer here? Current yield I was taught I the annual coupon divided by the price, so 8/80=10%. If by current yield they mean YTM, I usually use this as an approximation when no access to excel or calculator:

But that gives roughly 13%? What are they doing with the compounding figure here?
