The firm's owner, George Stein, is preparing to make a presentation to the firm's clients and has asked you to provide some input regarding the bonds of KLX, a publically traded company.

Bond Price per bond I II III * As of January 1, 2023. $ 825.00 930.52 1108.08 Table Coupon Rate 3.75% 6.50 9.25 Maturity Year 2028 2033 2038 Years to Maturity* 5 10 15 Finally, assume the YTM of bond I remains unchanged until January 1, 2025. Consider an investor who buys bond I on January 1, 2025 and keeps it for three years. In addition, the investor deposits all coupon interest payments from the bond in a bank account that pays 3% interest (compounded semi-annually) until the end of the 3-year investment period. At the end of the 3-year period the yield on bond I is 7.2% and the investor sells the bond and closes the bank account.
