What is the price of the consol? $1800 $5500 $2830.19 $5000 3. What is the price of coupon bond? $3505.48 $1263.71 $2242.02 $3502.95 4. At the end of the first year, the yields on all bonds unexpectedly rise to 10%. What is the one-year rate of return on the consol bond? -34% 32% -40% 36%

You purchased a 5-year annual interest coupon bond one year ago. Its coupon interest rate was 6% and its par value was $1,000. At the time you purchased the bond, the yield to maturity was 4%. Suppose you decided sell the bond after receiving the first interest payment and the bond's yield to maturity had just changed to 3% , what would your annual total rate of return on holding the bond for that year have been approximately?
