Question
Use Excel or Google Open Source Spreadsheet for this problem:
You own a 4 year bond that has a face value of $12,000 and pays 8% a
year in interest, once a year, at the end of the year. Two years after buying
it, the interest rate increases to 10%. You do not want to wait 2 more years
to get your principle of $12,000 back because you really need the money,
so you decide to sell it on the open market.
1. How much can you sell it for?
2. Would it be a capital loss or gain and how much? How much is the
capital gain or loss?
