You bought one of BB Co.’s 10% coupon bonds one year ago for $1100. These bonds make annual payments, have a face value of $1000 each, and mature seven years from now. Suppose you decide to sell your bonds today, when the required return on the bonds is 8%. If the inflation rate was 3% over the past year, what would be your total real return on investment according to the Exact Fisher Formula?

About rate of return
For a consol that pays $100 annually, if the yield to maturity at the beginning of the year is 10%, and the yield to maturity at the end of the year is 5%, please calculate the return of the consol of this year.
If a coupon bond that is going to mature in two years is selling at par. Suppose its coupon rate is 10%, the yield to maturity at the begging of the year is 10%, and the yield to maturity at the end of the year is 5%. Please calculate the return of the coupon bond of this year.
D3)
Finance
Suppose that there is 30-year coupon bond with par value of $100 and Macaulay duration of 20.56. The coupon rate is unknown. Currently, the bond is traded at $90 and the yield is flat at 20% pa. Yield to maturity is an annualized simple interest rate compounded annually. If the bond yield increases by 50 basis points, what is the approximation of the percentage capital gain or loss?
Please choose the correct range for the percentage capital gain/loss, i.e., if it is -3.5%, please select “A value between -3% and -4%”
A value between -9% and -10%
A value between -8% and -9%
None of the other answers are correct.
A value between -7% and -8%
A value between -10% and -11%
