Bond Returns:
A 15-year, $1,000 par value bond has an 8.5% annual payment
coupon. The bond currently sells for $925. After one year, assuming
the the yield to maturity (discount rate) remains the same as
previous, calculate the following returns between the two
years:
1) Current yield
2) Capital gains yield
3) Total returns
Hint:
solve the rate (yield to maturity) for the 25-year bond.
with the same yield to maturity, solve the price for the bond
with shorter maturity....
