Hello,
to get the current yield of the bond, determine first the<span> annual interest payment which is calculated as stated
interest rate times the face value of the bond. In this question, the bond’s
value is $1,000 and the stated interest rate is 6.5 percent, therefore, the
annual interest payment is 65. Finally, the annual interest payment of 65 is
divided by the current market price quote of 101.23 to get the current yield of
64.21%. Hope this helps.</span>

Scenario 2 would be correct
Answer:
The annualized rate of return to the Swiss investor is -7.93%.
Explanation:
This is an instance of foreign currency bond.
Using the exchange rate of $1 = 1.420, purchase price of the bond is calculated as $9,708.74 x 1.420 = 13,786.4108 Swiss Francs
Using the exchange rate of $1 = 1.324, maturity value is $10,000 x 1.324 = 13,240 Swiss Francs
Holding period is 6 months.
So, annualized rate of return is: (Maturity amount - Purchase price)/Purchase price x 12 / No of months
Annualized rate of return is: (13,240 - 13,786.4108)/13,786.4108 x 12/6 = -0.079268028.
Annualized rate of return is -7.93% approximately.
Waiting is a bad idea because you could lose good opportunities in the time you wait. Choosing the same career as someone you admire might not be what you would best enjoy or succeed in, and the job that earns you the most money isn't necessarily the most enjoyable. The answer is A :)
