a

                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =20
Bond Price =? [(5*1000/100)/(1 + 6/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 6/100)^20
                   k=1
Bond Price = 885.3

b

                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =20
Bond Price =? [(5*1000/100)/(1 + 5.5/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 5.5/100)^20
                   k=1
Bond Price = 940.25

HPR = ((price in 1 year + coupon)/price today-1)*100 = ((940.25+50)/885.35-1)*100=11.85%

c

Tax on capital gain = tax rate*(selling price-purchase price) = 0.3*(940.35-885.35)=16.5

Tax on coupon=tax rate*coupon = 0.4*50=20

d

New HPR = ((price in 1 year + coupon-tax on capital gain -tax on coupon)/price today-1)*100 = ((940.25+50-16.5-20)/885.35-1)*100=7.73%
