Answer #1

Price after 6 months

Using financial calculator
Input:

Fv = 1000

N = 6*12 -1 = 11

PMT = 12.25%*1000/2 = 61.25

I/Y = 4.9

Solve for PV as -1102.29

Price after 6 months = $1102.29

b: Total rate of return = (Closing price-Opening price+Coupon)/ Initial price

= (1102.29-1109.19+61.25)/1109.19

= 54.35/1109.19

= 4.9%
