Question

You purchased a bond at a price of $13,100. In 15 years when the bond matures, the bond will be worth $30,000. It is exactly 7 years after you purchased the bond and you can sell the bond today for $21,300. If you hold the bond until it matures, what annual rate of return will you earn from today

Answer 1

Answer:

The annual rate of return is 2.10%

Explanation:

The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:

Let us assume the annual rate of return be K

K is

= {Worth of the bond - selling price of the bond today)^(1 ÷ remaining time period) - 1

= [$30,000 ÷ $21,300]^(1 ÷ 8) - 1

= 2.10%

Hence, the annual rate of return is 2.10%

The same is to be considered
