You purchased an annual interest coupon bond one year ago that had six years remaining to maturity at that time. The coupon interest rate was 10%, and the par value was $1,000. At the time you purchased the bond, the yield to maturity was 8%. If you sold the bond after receiving the first interest payment and the yield to maturity continued to be 8%, your annual total rate of return on holding the bond for that year would have been

The correct answer to the following question will be "8%".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Number of years of maturity = 5 years

Interest rate of coupon = 10%

                           = 10%×1000

                           = 100

Yield to maturity, YTM = 8%

As we know,

Price of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Per Value

On putting the values in the above formula, we get

⇒                     =

⇒                     =

After 1 years, we get

Price of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Per Value

On putting the values in the above formula, we get

⇒                     =

⇒                     =

Now,

The total return rate =

                                   =

                                   =
