If Annie buys the bond today at its $1,000 par value and holds it for exactly 3 years, at which time the required return is 7.0%, how much of a gain or loss will she experience in the value of the bond (ignoring interest already received and assuming annual interest)? Rework part (f), assuming that Annie holds the bond for 10 years and sells it when the required return is 7.0%. Compare your finding to that in part (f), and comment on the bond's maturity risk. Assume that Annie buys the bond at its current price of $983.80 and holds it until maturity. What will her current yield and yield to maturity (YTM) be, assuming annual interest? After evaluating all of the issues raised above, what recommendation would you give Annie with regard to her proposed investment in the Atilier Industries bonds?

Three years after he purchased the bond, market interest rates went down, so the bond increased in value. If the investor sold the bond for $11,500 three years after he bought it, what rate of return did the investor make (a) per quarter, and (b) per year (nominal)?
If the owners choose to invest in bonds instead, they look at a $136,125.00 bond set to mature in 9 years with a bond rate of 2.00%, payable semi-annually. The market rate is 5.40%, compounded semi-annually. The owners will only purchase the bond if they can afford it with their savings ($123,750.00), and they can get the bond at a discount because they think the market rate will go down, potentially making the bond more valuable in the future. 2. Calculate the purchase price of the bond if it is purchased today (9 years before maturity). 3. Do the owners have enough money to buy their bond? Will they make the purchase?
