    Explanation:

    Purchase price of bond = $921.77

    Years investment held = n = 7

    Coupon rate = C = 15%

    Frequency of payment = m = 2

    Annual coupon = $1,000 * (0.15/2) = $75.00

    Realized Yield = i

    Selling price of bond = PB = $961.22

    The realized rate of return is approximately 16.6 percent. Using a financial calculator provided an exact yield of 16.625 percent.
