Information provided:

Par value= future value= $1,000

Current price= present value= $1,043.47

Semi-annual coupon payment= $27

Current yield is calculated using the below formula:

Current Yield= Annual interest/Current price

                          = $27*2/ $1,043.47

                          = $54/ $1,043.47

                          = 0.0518*100

                          = 5.18%

Hence, the answer is option c.
