Respuesta :

Answer:

17%

Explanation:

Purchase price of bond = $921.77

Years investment held = n = 7

Coupon rate = C = 15%

Frequency of payment = m = 2

Annual coupon = $1,000 × (0.15/2) = $75.00

Realized Yield = i

Selling price of bond = PB = $961.22

The realized rate of return is approximately 16.6 percent. Using a financial calculator provided an exact yield of 16.625 percent.
