    Annual realized rate of return is 18.75%

    Explanation:

    Bond Purchase Price = $960

    Bond selling Price = $1040

    Gain from bond price appreciation = $1040 - $960 = $80

    Coupon received = 10% of $1000 = $100

    So, total return = $100 + $80 = $180

    So, Annual realized return = 180/960 = 0.1875 = 18.75%
