Question

3. A 9.3% annual coupon bond with a 10-year maturity and a $1,000 par value has a yield to maturity of 8%. Assuming that the yield curve is flat and doesn’t shift, calculate the holding period return you would achieve from buying the bond, holding it for one year only.

Answer 1

Holding period return is 8.000%

Price at the time of purchase=

1000*9.3% 8(1/1.08^10)+1000/1.08^10=1087.231058

Price at the time of sale=

1000*9.3%/8%*(1-1/1.08^9)+1000/1.08^9=1081.209543

Holding period return=

(1081.209543+1000*9.3%)/1087.231058-1=8.0000%

Coupon bonds, also known as bearer bonds or bond coupons, are debt securities with coupons attached that represent semi-annual interest payments. For coupon bonds, there is no record of the purchaser and issuer. The purchaser's name is not even printed on the certificate.

A coupon bond is a debt instrument with a removable piece of paper that can be peeled off the bond itself and taken to a bank or broker to pay interest. These removable pieces of paper are called coupons and represent interest payments to creditors.
