E) 12.51%
Solution E
Inflation (CPI) has no bearing on the answer as the question asks for the nominal rate of
return and not the real rate of return.
Price of bond today is the present value of future cash flows (4 years left to maturity) and
can be solved using FV = $1,000; PMT= $60; r = 1/Y= 4.5%; n = 4 therefore PV =
$1,053.81. The rate of return over the last year can be solved using FV = $1,053.81;
PV = $990; PMT= $60; n = 1 therefore r => 12.51% which is the nominal rate or return
over one year.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F0a83a40f-5a08-4d5b-9d12-af75a97c3308%2F2a034c1d-272b-4893-96f8-3c40405f4f89%2Frat1k6k_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
