    holding period return is 14.20%

    Explanation:

    In calculating the holding period return, the formula to use is given below

    HPR=P1-P0+interest/P0

    P1 is the price of the bond in year 1

    P0 is the price of the bond in year 0

    Interest is the coupon received in year 1

    Price is the present value of the bond calculated using the pv formula in excel

    =pv (rate, nper, pmt, fv)

    rate is the yield to maturity

    pmt is the interest payment which is 5.2%*$1000=$52

    nper is the number of years to maturity

    fv is $1000

    for P0 = pv (7%,10,52,1000)

    P0=$873.58

    For P1

    =pv (6%,9,52,1000)

    P1=$945.59

    HPR = ($945.59 - $873.58+$52) / $873.58

    HPR=14.20%
