If the bond has a face value of $500 and a yield of 2%, the bondholder will receive the face value at maturity plus the interest earned.
The interest earned in one year would be calculated as follows:
Interest = Face Value × Yield
Interest = $500 × 0.02 = $10
At maturity, the bondholder will receive the face value plus interest:
Total payment = Face Value + Interest
Total payment = $500 + $10 = $510
Therefore, the bondholder should expect to receive $510.
