Explanation / Answer

What would be the total return of the bond in dollars? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Assuming Annual Coupon Bond

Purchase Bond Value

Bond Value = pv(rate, nper,pmt,fv)

Nper  (indicates the period) = 24

PV (indicates the price) = ?

PMT (indicate the annual payment) = 1000*6.45% = 64.50

FV (indicates the face value) = 1000

Rate (indicates YTM) = 5.7%

Bond Value = pv( 5.7%,24,64.50,1000)

Bond Value = $ 1096.79

Bond Value after one year

Bond Value = pv(rate, nper,pmt,fv)

Nper  (indicates the period) = 24 - 1 = 23

PV (indicates the price) = ?

PMT (indicate the annual payment) = 1000*6.45% = 64.50

FV (indicates the face value) = 1000

Rate (indicates YTM) = 6.2%

Bond Value = pv( 6.2%,23,64.50,1000)

Bond Value = $ 1030.21

  Total return = Bond Value after one year - Purchase Bond Value + Annual Coupon

  Total return = 1030.21 - 1096.79 + 64.50

  Total return = -2.08

What would be the total return of the bond in percent? (Negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

  Total return =   Total return in Dollar/Purchase Bond Value

  Total return = -2.08/1096.79

  Total return = -0.19%
