You buy a 10.750% semi-annual bond maturing in exactly 7 years at 93.0630. You hold the bond for 3 years. Then you sell the bond at 98.6980.
Your holding period yield on this investment is:
Round to 5 decimals
Face Value = $1000
Semi-annual Coupon payment = $1000*10.75%*1/2
= $53.75
- Buying Price of Bond = $1000*93.0630%
= $930.63
- Selling Price of Bond = $1000*98.6980%
= $986.98
- Coupon payment received during 3-year holding period = $53.75*6 payments
= $322.5
Holding period Return(HPR) = [(Selling Price - Buy price) + Total Coupon Payment]/Buy price
HPR = [($986.98 - $930.63) + $322.5]/$930.63
HPR = 40.70898%
So, the holding period yield on this investment is 40.70898%
