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?

Bond A is zero-coupon bond paying $100 one year from now. Bond B is a zero-coupon bond paying $100 two years from now. Bond C is a 10% coupon bond that pays $10 one year from now and $10 plus the $100 principal two years from now. The yield to maturity on bond A is 10%, and the price of bond B is $84.18. Assuming annual compounding, what is the price of Bond A?
