Assume a flat yield curve of 6%. A three-year £100 bond is issued at par paying an annual coupon of 6%. What is the portfolio manager’s expected return if he predicts that the yield curve one year from today will be a flat 7%?
A. 4.19%
B. 6.00%
C. 8.83%
What do you think?
Why?
when the int rate increases price of the bond decreases
so the expected return would be lower than 6%
could you please explain to me how to calculate on Calci?
