Treasury securities are issued and backed by the U.S. government and, therefore, are considered to be the lowest-risk
securities on the market. As an investor looking for protection against inflation, you are considering the purchase of
inflation-adjusted bonds known as U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). With these securities, the face value
(which is paid at maturity) and the bond interest rate (which is paid semiannually) is regularly adjusted to account for
inflation. However, for this problem only, assume the semi-annual interest payment (called the bond dividend) remains the
same.
You purchased a 10-year $10,000 TIPS bond with dividend of 4% per year payable semiannually (i.e., $200 every 6
months). Assume there is no inflation adjustment for the first 5 years, but in years 6 through 10, the bond face value
increases by $850 each year. You use an expected investment return of 11% per year compounded semiannually.
