a.The value of a ten-year, $1,000 par value bond with a 10 percent annual coupon if its required rate of return is 10 percent would be $1,000.

f. Total return of bond The yield to maturity on a ten-year, 9 percent annual coupon, $1,000 par value bond that sells for $887.00 would be = 12%
Total interest + Maturity value= 1000*9%*10years + 1000 = 900 +1000 = 1900
Less: Purchase price = 887
Total retrn = 1900-887 = $1,013
Current yeild = (1000*9%)/887 * 100 = 10.15%
Capital gain yeild = (1000-887)/1000 * 100 = 11.3%
