Answer:
8.02%
Explanation:
Since corporate bonds pay coupons semiannually, it would be important to first all determine the semiannual yield to maturity of this bond using a financial calculator as shown below:
We need to set the calculator to its end mode before making the following inputs:
N=6(number of semiannual coupons in 3 years=3*2=6)
PMT=50(semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate/2=1000*10%/2=50)
PV=-1051.45 (current price)
FV=1000(bond's face value)
CPT
I/Y=4.02%
After one year, there would 4 semiannual coupons left, we can compute the bond price as shown thus:
N=4
PMT=50
I/Y=4.02(without % sign)
FV=1000
CPT
PV=1,035.56
The expected rate of return over one year is computed thus:
N=2(number of semiannual coupons in 1 year holding period)
PMT=50(the amount of each semiannual coupon)
PV= -1051.45
FV=1,035.56(selling price after one year)
CPT=4.01%(on a semiannual basis)
annual rate of return=4.01%*2=8.02%
