Currently, the term structure is as follows: One-year bonds yield 10.50%, two-year bonds yield 11.50%, three-year bonds and greater maturity bonds all yield 12.50%. You are choosing between one-, two-, and three-year maturity bonds all paying annual coupons of 11.50%, once a year. You strongly believe that at year-end the yield curve will be flat at 12.50%.

a. Calculate the one year total rate of return for the three bonds. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

	One Year		Two Years		Three Years
One year total rate of return		%		%		%

b. Which bond you would buy?
