What is the total dollar return?

A bond is a debt instrument that is used by businesses to raise the capital needed for operation.

Bondholders receive interest at regular predetermined time intervals. At the maturity of the bond, the bondholders are paid back the amount that was invested in the bond. The interest that is earned is a function of the coupon rate of the bond.

The total dollar return on the bond is the sum of the coupon rate and the price appreciation or depreciation of the bond.

Total dollar return = coupon rate + price appreciation.

In order to determine the price appreciation, convert the prices of the bond to dollars.

Face value of the bond in dollars = R$1,000 x $0.75 = $750

Price of the bond at the end of one year = R$950 x $0.85 = 807.50

Price appreciation = (807.50 / 750) - 1 = 0.07667 = 7.667%

Total dollar return = 15% + 7.667% = 22.67%
