Fixed Income Q75

0. An investor purchased 9% annual pay bond with maturity of 3 years and face value of $1,000 at the current market price of $1,025.78. The investor plans to hold the bond till maturity. What is the expected annualized holding period return? What is the future value of reinvested coupons?

  • Option : B
  • Explanation : Annualized holding period return is the IRR of the investment:
    N = 3, PV = -1,025.78, PMT = 90, FV = $1,000, CPT I/Y. I/Y = 8%.
    The total portion of coupon payments and reinvestment return 90(1.08)² + 90(1.08) + 90 = $292.18.
