A bond has an annual 11 percent coupon rate, an annual interest payment of $110, a maturity of 20 years, a face value of $1,000, and makes annual payments. It has a yield to maturity of 8.83 percent. If the price is $1,200, what rate of return will an investor expect to receive during the next year?
a. -0.33%
b. 8.83%
c. 9.17%
d. 11.00%
first let us calculate value of bond 1 year from now
it is calculated using pv function in excel (calculation attached below)
value is 1196.5
current value of bond is 1200
so capital loss is (1200-1196.5) = 3.5
interest received during the year is 110 (given in problem )
return to the investor is = (interest - capital loss)/value of the bond now
= (110-3.5)/1200 = 8.83%
so return to the investor is 8.83%
