    The bond's capital gain yield is 8% is not correct as capital gain yield is 0%

    Explanation:

    The bond yield to maturity is 8%, which can be proved by computing yield using rate formula in excel

    =rate (nper, pmt,-pv, fv)

    nper is 10 years

    pmt is 8%*$1000=$80

    pv and fv are both %=$1000

    =rate (10,80,-1000,1000) = 8.00%

    The current yield is the same as yield to maturity of 8%

    If the bond's yield remains at 8%, there is no doubt that the price will remain at $1000 par value which can proved with pv formula in excel

    =pv (rate, nper, pmt, fv)

    =pv (8%,10,80,1000) = $1000

    The bond capital gain yield is zero since capital yield relates to movement in prices of the bond

    capital gain yield = current price-face value/current price

    = (1000-1000) / 1000=0%
