                  K = N
Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =21
Bond Price =∑ [(7.1*1000/100)/(1 + 5.2/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 5.2/100)^21
                   k=1
Bond Price = 1239.37 = beginning price
                  K = N
Bond Price =∑ [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =20
Bond Price =∑ [(7.1*1000/100)/(1 + 5.7/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + 5.7/100)^20
                   k=1
Bond Price = 1164.56 = ending price

total return of the bond in dollar= eniding price+coupon-beginning price

=1164.56+71-1239.37

=-3.81

total return of the bond in percent=(total return of the bond in dollar/beginning price)

=-3.81/1239.37

=-0.31%
