You purchased a bond 90 days ago for $881.03. You received an interest payment of $20.00 50 days ago. Today the bond’s price is $830.64. What is the holding period return (HPR) on the bond as of today? (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) HPR %
Ans:- Holding Period Return = [ Ending Value + Income earned - Initial Value ] / Initial Value * 100
= [ $830.64 + $20.00 - $881.03 ] / $881.03 * 100 = -3.45%
Therefore, the HPR of the bond is -3.45%.
