The current market interest rate for one year maturity bond is 10%. The forward rate for a one year investment starting in one year from now is 8%. The forward rate for a one year investment starting in two year from now is 12%. According to the expectations theory of term structure, the shape of the yield curve between 1 year maturity and 3 year maturity is descending then ascending.

Involve zero-coupon bonds. A zero-coupon bond is a bond that is sold now at a discount and will pay its face value at the time when it matures; no interest payments are made. If Pat pays $\$ 12,485.52$ for a $\$ 25,000$ face-value, zero-coupon bond that matures in 8 years, what is his annual rate of return?
