    The rate of return is 7.20%

    Explanation:

    a) Assuming you purchased the bond for $880, in order to calculate the rate of return you earn if you held the bond for 25 years until it matured with a value $5,000 we would have to calculate the following formula:

    Rate of Return = [FV/PV]1/n - 1

    Rate of Return = [$5,000 / $880]1/25 - 1 = [5.6818]0.04 - 1 = 1.0720 - 1 = 0.0720, or 7.20%

    Rate of Return = [5.6818]0.04 - 1

    Rate of Return = 1.0720 - 1

    Rate of Return=0.0720, or 7.20%

    The rate of return is 7.20%
