Explanation / Answer

Answer 1.

Face Value = $1,000

Coupon = $100

Current Value = $1,110

N = 8 years.

1,110 = 100*(1-(1/(1+i))^8)/i + 1,000/(1+i)^8

I = 8.08%

Answer b-1.

YTM = 10.08%

Value = 100*(1-(1/1.1008)^6)/0.1008 + 1,000/1.1008^6

Value = $1,342.94

Answer b-2.

Bond is sold for the gain of 20.99% ((1,342.94-1,110)/1,110 *100)

Gain per Year = 10.495%

Plus there is a dividend payment of 4%. Sol annual realized yield = 14.50% (10.50% + 4%)
