What is a bond?

A bond is a debt instrument, which is subscribed by an individual at a fixed rate of return, in order to earn a secured rate of return at the time of maturity of such bond.

The formula used to calculate the rate of maturity of bond will be as below,

[tex]\rm Compounded\ Annuity\ = Amount(\dfrac{1}{1+rate})^n\\\\\rm Compounded\ Annuity\ = 1000(\dfrac{1}{1+0.06})^2^0\\\\Compounded\ Annuity= \$3,207.14[/tex]

Hence, the rate of return of the bond on maturity is as calculated above.
