Option (E).
Assuming face value of $100,
Annual coupon = $100 x 5% = $5
Purchase price a year ago ($) = 5 x P/A(5%, 5) + 100 x P/F(5%, 5) = 5 x 4.3295 + 100 x 0.7835
= 21.65 + 78.35
= 100
Purchase price now ($) = 5 x P/A(4%, 4) + 100 x P/F(4%, 4) = 5 x 4.6299 + 100 x 0.8548
= 23.15 + 85.48
= 108.63
Rate of return = (108.63 / 100) - 1 = 1.0863 - 1 = 0.0863 = 8.63%
NOTE: The answer will be unchanged for any value of the bond's face value.

Suppose you purchase a ten-year bond with 6 percent annual coupons. You hold the bond for four years, and sell it immediately after receiving the fourth coupon. If the bond's yield to maturity was 4.5% when you purchased and 7% when you sold the bond. What is your annual rate of return on the bond in each of the following situations: a) All coupons were immediately spent when received. b) All coupons were reinvested in a bank account, which pays...
Two years ago you have purchased a bond with $1000 par, semi-annual coupons with a coupon rate of 8% and maturity of 20 years for $ 1,200. Calculate your holding period return for this bond over the last two years, if you were able to reinvest coupons at 11% and the current YTM is 7%!
Today you purchase a coupon bond that pays an annual interest, has a par value of $1,000, matures in six years, has a coupon rate of 10%, and has a yield to maturity of 8%. One year later, you sell the bond after receiving the first interest payment and the bond's yield to maturity had changed to 7%. Your annual total rate of return on holding the bond for that year is ?
