suppose you buy 1000 par value bond that matures in 15 years and pays an annual coupon rate of 6% for a price of 965.38 if you hold the bond for 1 year and sell it when it's yield to maturity is 7.5% what is your one year return

Solutions

Expert Solution

- Par Value of Bond = $1000

Annual Coupon Payment = $1000*6%

= $60

Bond Purchased at price= $965.38

- You sell the bond 1 year after the purchase when Yield to maturity(YTM) is 7.5%

No of years to maturity left(n) = 15 years - 1 years

= 14 years

Calculating the selling price of bond:-

Price = $509.352 + $363.31

Selling price of Bond = $872.66

Now, Calculating the one year return:-

Return = [(Sell Price - Buy Price) + Coupon Received]/Buy Price

=[($872.66 - 965.38) + $60]/$965.38

= -3.39%

So, one year return is -3.39%
