Please answer A,B, and C and show your work:) I am stuck on the calculations. Suppose you purchase a 30-year Treasury bond with a 8% annual coupon, initially trading at par. In 8 years' time, the bond's yield to maturity has risen to 10%
(EAR).(Assume $100 face value bond.)
a. If you sell the bond now, what internal rate of return will you have earned on your investment in the bond?
b. If instead you hold the bond to maturity, what internal rate of return will you earn on your initial investment in the bond?
c. Is comparing the IRRs in (a) versus (b) a useful way to evaluate the decision to sell the bond? Explain. **an example of how C should be answered is "We can't simply compare IRR's. By not selling the bond for its current price of $86.05, we will earn the current market return of 12% on that amount going forward."
