Answer: 11.95%

Explanation:

Present value of the bond before you sold it;

FV = 1,000

N = 6

PMT = 100 = 10% * 1,000

Rate = 8%

Using excel to calculate, use the PV function;

Present value of bond = $1,092.46

Present value of bond after you sell it;

FV = 1,000

N = 5

PMT = 100 = 10% * 1,000

Rate = 7%

Present value = $1,123.01

The Annual total rate of return will be = ( New Price - Old price + Income) / Old price

= ( 1,123.01 - 1,092.46 + 100) / 1,092.46

= 11.95%
