Here, we need to set the above key variables into the financial calculator to find out the Price of the Bond. After entering the above keys in the financial calculator, we get the Price of the Bond = $1,068.85.
The total rate of return on the Bond
The total rate of return on the Bond = [{Annual Coupon Amount + (Change in Bond Price)} / Current Price] x 100
= [{$58 + ($1,068.85 - $1,030)} / $1,030] x 100
= [($58 + $38.85) / $1,030] x 100
= [$96.85 / $1,030] x 100
= 9.40%
“Hence, the total rate of return on the Bond will be 9.40%”
