Coupon Interest rate = 9%

Par value of bond = $1,000.00

Interest per coupon (1000*9%) = $90.00

YTM rate 9.31%

No. of years to Maturity 25

Calculation of purchase price of bond @ 9.31% YTM

Annual Interest received = 90.00

Cumulative P.V.F. @ 9.31 % for 25 Years =

(1- ((1/(1.0931)^25)))/0.0931 9.580884862

Present value of interest received (90*9.5808848) $862.28

Maturity amount received = 1000

P.V.F. @ 9.31 % for 25 th year = 0.1080196193

(1/(1+0.0931)^25)

Present value of Maturity amount(1000*0.1080196) $108.02

-------------------

Price of bond $970.30

So, price of bond is $970.30

Calculation of rate of return for past year

Sale price of bond = 968.89

purchase price of bond= 970.3

Annual interest earned during last year 90

Rate of return earned = ((sale price - purchase price) + annual interest received ) / purchase price

((968.89-970.30)+90) / 970.30

0.09130165928 or 9.13%

So, rate of return earned during last year is 9.13%
