One year ago you purchased an 8% coupon rate bond when it was first issued and priced at its face value of $1,000. Yesterday the bond paid its second semi-annual coupon. The bond currently has 7 years left until maturity and has a yield to maturity of 6%. If you sell the bond today, what will your return have been from this investment during the year you held the bond and collected the coupon payments?
