Valuing Bonds 187 Bond Returns. A bond has 10years until maturity, carries rate of 9%,and sells for $1,100. Interest is paid annually. (L06-2 and LO6-3) if the bond has a yield to maturity of 9% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? What will be the rate of return on the bond? Now assume that interest is paid semiannually. What will be the rate of return on the bond? If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, What will be the rate of return on the bond? Bond Returns, you buy an 8% coupon, 20-year maturity bond when its yield to maturity is 9%. (Assume semiannual coupon payments.) Six months later, the yield to maturity is 10%.

What will be the price of each bond if their yields decrease to 7%? Are long-term bonds more or less affected than short-term bonds by a rise in interest rates?
