A $10,000 bond has an interest rate of 6% per year payable quarterly. The bond matures 15 years from now. At a nominal interest rate of 8% per year, compounded quarterly, the present worth of the bond is represented by which of the equations below:
PW = 150(P/A, 2%, 60) + 10,000(P/F, 2%, 60)
PW = 600(P/A, 2%, 60) + 10,000(P/F, 2%, 60)
PW = 600(P/A, 8%, 15) + 10,000(P/F, 8%, 15)
PW = 150(P/A, 1.5%, 60) + 10,000(P/F, 1.5%, 60)
A savvy investor paid $5,500 for a 20-year $10,000 mortgage bond that had a bond interest rate of 8% per year, payable quarterly.

If the investor sold the bond for $11,500 three years after he bought it, what rate of return did the investor make per quarter and per year (nominal)?
The rate of return per quarter is%.
The rate of return per year is%.
