Julie buys a bond with a face value of $100, a time to maturity of three years, a coupon of 6% pa with semi-annual payments and a yield of 7% pa. Six months later (immediately after the first coupon has been paid), the Reserve Bank of Australia unexpectedly cuts the cash rate. The yield on Julie's bond drops to 5% pa and she decides to sell.
