A. A $1000 par value bond has 15 years to maturity. Coupon of 8% is paid annually on the bond. An investor buys a bond today and the interet rates are at 8%. What is the rate of return for the investor if he holds the bond for one year and the interest rates are at 10% at the end of the year? Show your workings clearly. (25 marks) B.
