Cevap

Nominal Yield matches stated annual coupon rate relative to par; Current Yield matches annual interest dollar payout divided by current secondary market price; Yield to Maturity matches total annualized return if held to final payment date; Call Feature matches contractual provision allowing the issuing entity to redeem early.
Each terminology item directly maps to its primary FINRA definition: nominal yield is the fixed coupon rate, current yield calculates income over secondary market price, yield to maturity represents comprehensive long-term yield, and call features grant early redemption rights to the issuer.
