Answer 1

To determine how much the bondholder will receive upon the bond's maturity, we need to consider both the face value of the bond and the interest earned.

1. Face Value of the Bond: $200
2. Annual Yield (Interest): 3% of $200 = 0.03 * 200 = $6

At maturity, the bondholder will receive the face value plus the interest:

$$\text{Total Payment}=\text{Face Value}+\text{Interest}=200+6=206$$

Therefore, the bondholder will receive $206 after the bond has reached its maturity date of one year.

The correct response is: $206.
