You have paid $980.30 for an 8% coupon bond with a face value of $1,000 that mature in five years. You plan on holding the bond for one year. If you want to earn a 9% rate of return on this investment, what price must you sell the bond for? Is this realistic?

Years to Maturity | Discount Rate | Current Price |
3 | 5 | |
