Introduction: Bond refers to the financial instruments that are issued to raise funds from the public for a fixed maturity period and a fixed interest rate is paid. The capital gain yield on the bond can be determined by subtracting the previous market price and the current market and dividing the arrived value by the previous market price of the bond.

Gabby's Garage issued a bond with a 10-year maturity, a $1,000 par value, a 10 percent coupon rate, and semiannual interest payments. Two years after the bond was issued, the going rate of interest on similar-risk bonds fell to 6 percent. Suppose the market rate stays at this level for the remainder of the bond's life. Compute the (a) current yield ans (b) capital gains yield that the bond will generate in the third year (Year 3) of its life.
