    The percentage return on the bond is %8.02

    Explanation:

    To calculate a return of a bond we take value of bond at maturity and add the coupon payments as they are capital gains / subtract if they are loses and subtract the original price of the bond also divide by original price

    Price at the beginning $1,946.61

    Price at the end $1,982.79

    Coupon 2000*6 * = $120

    return = 1982.79 - 1946.61 + 120 / 1946.61

    =0.0802/%8.02
