Answer #1

Hi

The basic principle of the bond is that the price increases if there is a decrease in the Yield of the bond.

As observed from the chart,

Bond Price at 4% = $1,815.42

Bond Price at 2% = $2,308.11

If bonds were purchased at 4% i.e. $1,815.42 and sold when the interest rate was 2% i.e $2,308.11, return on investment on sale of bond will be

Return = $2,308.11 - $1,815.42 = $492.69

Return on investment = $492.69 / $1,815.42 = 27.14%
