Most of the answers I have found on Chegg are incorrect in some way or not explained very well (or even at all) for this problem. Please help me to understand this problem and make sure to explain in detail. Giving me an answer without explaining it is useless to me. So, I will give a thumbs down for answers that are incorrect and/or not explained in detail.
During recessionary periods, bonds that were issued many years ago have a higher coupon rate than currently issued bonds. Therefore, they may sell at a premium, a price higher than their face value, because of currently low coupon rates. A $50,000 bond that was issued 15 years ago is for sale for $60,000. What rate of return per year will a purchaser make if the bond coupon rate is 20% per year payable monthly, and the bond is due 5 years from now?
