3. Which of the following statements about the yield-to-maturity is true? a) Discounting all cash flows of a bond with the bond’s yield-to-maturity only gives us the correct price if we have a flat term structure of interest rates. b) The yield-to-maturity is upwards sloping. c) The yield-to-maturity is always a spot rate. d) Several of the above statements are true. e) None of the above statements are true. E is correct. The yield-to-maturity, y is the constant hypothetical interest rate that solves P = 1 FV c 1− + T y (1 + y) (1 + y)T

- The Bet-r-Bilt Company has a 5-year bond outstanding with a 4.30 percent coupon. Interest payments are paid semi-annually. The face amount of the bond is $1,000. This bond is currently selling for 93 percent of its face value. What is the company's pre-tax cost of debt?

Through this method, we obtained theoretical yields of the 4.25% coupon bond and 10.625% coupon bond to be 2.899% and 2.639% respectively. The corresponding theoretical prices of the bonds are $108.27 for the 4.25% coupon bond and $149.31 for the 10.625% coupon bond (see Table 1 above).

Describe the differences in interest payments and bond price between a 5 percent coupon bond and a zero coupon bond.
