At the beginning of the year, Brandon purchased a 3- year bond that pays an annual coupon of $100 and a principal of $1000 after three years. The yield to maturity was 4%.

Answer #1
Period Cash Flow Discounting Factor
[1/(1.04^year)]		 PV of Cash Flows
(cash flows*discounting factor)
1 100 0.961538462 96.15384615
2 100 0.924556213 92.4556213
3 100 0.888996359 88.89963587
3 1000 0.888996359 888.9963587
Price of the Bond =
Sum of PVs		 1166.505462

Therefore, Bond was purchased at $1166.51

a) Holding Period Return = [Selling Price-Purchase Price+Coupon Received]/Purchase Price = [1100-1166.51+100]/1000 = 33.49/1000 = 0.03349 = 3.349%

b) Holding Period Return = [Selling Price-Purchase Price+Coupon Received]/Purchase Price = [1100-1166.51+0]/1000 = -66.51/1000 = -0.06651 = -6.651%
