1.) You notice in the WSJ a bond that is currently selling in the market for $1,070 with a coupon of 11% and a 20-year maturity. Using annual compounding, calculate the promised yield on this bond.

2.) Assume that an investor pays $800 for a long-term bond that carries an 8% coupon. In three years, he hopes to sell the issue for $950. If his expectations come true, what yield will this investor realize? (Use annual compounding.) What would the holding period return be if he were able to sell the bond (at $950) after only nine months?
