Suppose you bought an 8 percent coupon bond one year ago for $1,090.

The bond sells for $1,056 today.

1. Assuming a $1,000 face value, what was your total dollar return on this investment

over the past year?

2. What was your total nominal rate of return on this investment over the past year?

3. If the inflation rate last year was 3 percent, what was your total real rate of return on

this investment?
