For the coming year, what are the expected current and capital gains yields? (Hint: Refer to Footnote 6 for the definition of the current yield and to Table 7.1.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Expected current yield: %

Expected capital gains yield: %

Will the actual realized yields be equal to the expected yields if interest rates change? If not, how will they differ?

As rates change they will cause the end-of-year price to change and thus the realized capital gains yield to change. As a result, the realized return to investors will differ from the YTM.

As long as promised coupon payments are made, the current yield will change as a result of changing interest rates. However, changing rates will cause the price to change and as a result, the realized return to investors will differ from the YTM.

As long as promised coupon payments are made, the current yield will not change as a result of changing interest rates. However, changing rates will cause the price to change and as a result, the realized return to investors should equal the YTM.
