Para calcular el rendimiento que obtendría el inversionista al vender el bono en el año 2, primero necesitamos encontrar la tasa de interés a la que se compró el bono.

Dado que el bono se vendió a la par, esto significa que el precio de compra es igual al valor nominal del bono, es decir $10,000.00.

La tasa de cupón del bono es del 10% convertible semestralmente. Como es convertible semestralmente, la tasa de interés por periodo es del 10%/2 = 5%.

Para encontrar la tasa de interés a la que se compró el bono, utilizamos la fórmula del precio de un bono al calcular el valor presente de los flujos futuros de efectivo, descontados a la tasa de interés de mercado:

P = \dfrac{C}{1 + r} + \dfrac{C}{(1 + r)^2} + \ldots + \dfrac{C + V}{(1 + r)^n}

Donde:
- P es el precio del bono
- C es el cupón
- r es la tasa de interés por periodo
- V es el valor nominal (valor de redención) del bono
- n es el número de periodos

Sustituyendo los valores conocidos:

10,000 = \dfrac{0.10(10,000)}{1 + r/2} + \dfrac{0.10(10,000)}{(1 + r/2)^2} + \dfrac{10,000}{(1 + r/2)^5}

Resolviendo la ecuación resultante, encontramos que la tasa de interés a la que se compró el bono es del 9%.

Ahora, para encontrar el rendimiento al venderlo en el año 2 con una tasa de mercado del 12%, utilizamos la fórmula del rendimiento al vencimiento:

R = \dfrac{C + (V - P)}{P}

Donde:
- R es el rendimiento al vencimiento
- C es el cupón
- V es el valor nominal (valor de redención) del bono
- P es el precio del bono

Sustituyendo los valores conocidos:

R = \dfrac{0.10(10,000) + (10,000 - 10,000)}{10,000} = \dfrac{1,000}{10,000} = 0.10 = 10\%

Por lo tanto, el rendimiento que obtendría el inversionista al vender el bono en el año 2 sería del 10%.

$\boxed{10\%}$
