1050-950= 100

100/950= 10.5

2. The total return on investment will be 10.5%.

What is the return on bonds?

The return on bonds is the profit gained from the purchase of the bonds. Ā 

The profit includes all the capital gains (discount received) and interest revenues received until maturity.

Data ad Calculations:

Face value = $1,000

Purchase price = $950 ($1,000 x 1 - 5%)

Discount = $50 ($1,000 - $950)

Maturity period = 1 year

Coupon rate = 5%

Interest payment = semi-annual

Annual interest = $50 ($1,000 x 5%)

Total profit at maturity = $100 ($50 + $50)

Total return on investment = 10.5% ($100/$950 x 100)

Thus, when the bond is redeemed at maturity, the total return (profit) for Timothy will be $100.00 at 10.5%.
