Problem 2.

You want to invest in a ten-year, 7% coupon bond with a face value of $1000 that is currently selling for $871.65. Compute your rate of return if you sell the bond next year for $880.10.

R= (70+ 880.10-871.65)/871.65 = 9%

Problem 2.

You decided to buy a 5-year bond, 7% with a face value of $ 1000 that is currently selling for $ 850. Compute your rate of return if you are selling this bond next year for $ 865.

R = (70+ 865-850)/850 = 10%

Problem 2.

You want to invest in a ten-year 8% coupon bond with a face value of $ 1000 that is currently selling for 860. Compute you rate of return if you sell the bond next year for $ 900.

R= (80+ 900 – 860)/860 = 13, 95%

Problem 2.

You decided to buy a 5-year bond, 8% with a face value of $ 1000 that is currently selling for $ 850. Compute your rate of return if you are selling this bond next year for $ 890.
