Accounting

You just bought a bond that matures in four years, has a 10% coupon rate paid annual, and a yield to maturity of 8%. After you bought the bond, interest rates decrease to 6% and you hold the bond until maturity. What is your actual return on this bond? Show me how you could immunize this position and lock in an 8% return. (Hint: You need a numeric example to prove this to me.)
