You buy a bond with the following features: 9 years to maturity, face value of $1000, coupon rate of 2% (annual coupons) and yield to maturity of 2.5%. Just after you purchase the bond, the yield to maturity rises to 4.9%. What is the capital gain or loss on your bond?

If the answer is a capital gain just enter the number. For example 581.65

If the answer is a capital loss enter a negative number. For example -841.47

Do not include the $ sign, just enter the number in dollars, rounded to the nearest cent (2 decimals).

Hint: capital gain / loss = value of the bond now - initial value of the bond.
