Tom is going to hold this bond for 3 years and sell the bond at the end of year 3. The bond's yield to maturity will change to 8% at the time when Tom sells the bond.

Which of the following regarding Tom’s annual holding period return (HPR) of this bond investment is correct? I. Tom’s annual HPR will be higher than 6% due to a capital gain from selling the bond at year 3

III. Tom’s annual HPR will be higher than 6% due to the higher reinvestment rate of 10%
