The rate of return on an investment is the investors gain or loss on the investment over a period of time.
Answer:
6.35%
Explanation:
If you purchase this bond you will need to pay $1,000 x 136.04% = $1,360.40
the coupon rate is 9.5% / 2 = 4.75% or $47.50 every six months
the bond matures in 18 years or 36 semiannual periods
yield to maturity = {coupon + [(face value - market value)/n]} / [(face value + market value)/2]
YTM = {47.5 + [(1,000 - 1,360.4)/36]} / [(1,000 + 1,360.4)/2]
YTM = 37.49 / 1,180.2 = 0.031766 x 2 (annual yield) = 0.06353 = 6.35%
