Reconsider a 5.00 percent TIPS that was issued with CPI
reference of 186.0. The bond is purchased at the beginning of the
year (after the interest payment), when the CPI was 197.1. For the
interest in the middle of the year, the CPI was 198.0. Now, at the
end of the year, the CPI is 202.3 and the interest payment has been
made. What is the total return of the TIPS in percentage terms for
the year? Assume semi-annual interest payments and $1,000 par
value. (Do not round the intermediate steps. Round your final
answer to 1 decimal place.)
