Ten years ago, The Romulus Company issued bonds that pay annual coupons, have a face value of $1,000, have a coupon rate of 10.44%, and were scheduled to mature 22 years after being issued. One year ago, you bought one of those bonds for $1,034.68. The bond just paid a coupon. If the percentage return on your bond was 3.37% over the past year (from 1 year ago to today), what is the price of the bond today? Now in another case, twelve years ago, The Broadside Company issued bonds that pay annual coupons, have a face value of $1,000, have a coupon rate of 7.80%, and were scheduled to mature 18 years after being issued. One year ago, you bought one of those bonds. The bond just paid a coupon and is currently priced at $1,084. If the percentage return on your bond was 5.46% over the past year (from 1 year ago to today), what was the price of the bond 1 year ago? Also, two years ago, the price of a bond was 988.6 dollars, and one year ago, the price of the bond was 1,032.48 dollars. Over the past year, the bond paid a total of 84.6 dollars in coupon payments, which were just paid. If the bond is currently priced at 1,012.69 dollars then what was the rate of return for the bond over the past year (from 1 year ago to today)? The par value of the bond is 1,000 dollars. Answer as a rate in decimal format so that 12.34% would be entered as .1234 and 0.98% would be entered as .0098.
