Coupon = 0.04 * 1000 = 40
Price = Coupon * [1 - 1 / (1 + r)n] / r + FV / (1 + r)n
Price = 40 * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.06)10] / 0.06 + 1000 / (1 + 0.06)10
Price = 40 * [1 - 0.558395] / 0.06 + 558.394777
Price = 40 * 7.360087 + 558.394777
Price = $852.7983
Price = Coupon * [1 - 1 / (1 + r)n] / r + FV / (1 + r)n
Price in 1 year = 40 * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.06)9] / 0.06 + 1000 / (1 + 0.06)9
Price in 1 year = 40 * [1 - 0.591898] / 0.06 + 591.898464
Price in 1 year = 40 * 6.801692 + 591.898464
Price in 1 year = $863.9661
Holding period return = [(Ending value + coupon - beginning value) / beginning value] * 100
Holding period return = [(863.9661 + 40 - 852.7983) / 852.7983] * 100
Holding period return = 6.00%
