Last year, Joan purchased a $1,000 face value corporate bond with an 9% annual coupon rate and a 25-year maturity. At the time of the purchase, it had an expected yield to maturity of 13.84%. If Joan sold the bond today for $964.28, what rate of return would she have earned for the past year? Round your answer to two decimal places.
| Price of bond | = | PV of all interest payment+PV of redemption value | ||||||
| = | [Coupon * PVAF (YTM,time to maturity)]+[PVF(YTM,time) *redemption value] | |||||||
| Price of bond when purchased | ||||||||
| Coupon | = | $1000*9%*=$90 | ||||||
| Time | = | 25 | ||||||
| YTM | = | 14% | ||||||
| Redemption value | = | $1,000 | ||||||
| Price | = | [$90*PVAF(13.84%,25)]+[PVF(13.84%,25)*$1000] | ||||||
| = | [$30*7.4859]+[0.039141*$1,000) | |||||||
| = | $624.84+$39.14 | |||||||
| = | $ 663.98 | |||||||
| Return on bond | = | [(Coupon+sale price-purchase price)/purchase price] | ||||||
| = | [($90+$964.28-$663.98)/$663.98]*100 | |||||||
| = | ($390.3/$663.98)*100 | |||||||
| = | 0.5878 or 58.78% | |||||||
| There may be little difference due to deciml places. | ||||||||
