1. Suppose that on January 1, 2021, you purchased a coupon bond with the following characteristics: a face value of $1,000, a coupon rate of 8.375%, a current yield of 7.5%, and the maturity date 2025. If the bond is selling for $850 on January 1, 2022, what was your rate of return on this bond during the holding period of calendar year 2021?

Suppose you think if you were to retire right now, you would have needed $50,000 each year to supplement your social security and maintain your desired lifestyle. But because there is on average 3% annual inflation, when you retire 30 years from now, you need more than $50,000 per year to maintain the lifestyle you like. How much will be equivalent to $50,000 at retirement time when adjusted for inflation? What will be the face value of the bond that yields the equivalent of $50,000, found in #4 of Part B in coupon payment? How much annual payment in the retirement account is needed to accumulate the amount needed to purchase the bond when retiring? What is the purchase power of the amount that will be received by your inheritors, measured in the current value of $ at the time of opening the retirement account? (Hint: First calculate what the future value will be in 30 years, which is equivalent to $50,000 now and then solve the rest of the problem).
Ex: Consider a discount bond that has a 1000 TL face value. Current price of the bond is 900 TL and the bond has two years to maturity. What is the yield to maturity for this bond?

HINT [See Example 3.] $ How much interest would you earn over the life of the bonds? $
A corporate bond pays 6% of its face value once per year. If this $10,000 10-year bond sells now for $10,450, what yield will be earned on this bond? Assume the bond will be redeemed at the end of 10 years for $10,000. The yield to maturity is %. (Round to two decimal places.)
