A zero-coupon bond is a bond that is sold for less than its face value (that is, it is discounted) and has no periodic interest payments. Instead, the bond is redeemed for its face value at maturity. Thus, in this sense, interest is paid at maturity. Suppose that a zero-coupon bond sells for $8,800 and can be redeemed in 20-years for its face value of $48,000. What is the annual compound rate of return? Annual compound rate =% (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Assume you purchase (at par) one 11-year bond with a 6.95 percent coupon and a $1,000 face value. Suppose you are only able to reinvest the coupons at a rate of 4.95 percent. If you sell the bond after 6 years when the yield to maturity is 7.95 percent, what is your Face Value?
Consider a bond with a face value of $2,000 that pays a coupon of $50 for 1 year (that is, you will receive both the face value and one coupon payment next year). Suppose the bond is purchased at $2,000. What is the yield to maturity of the bond? 2.5% 25% 1.025% 1.25%
A bond with a face value of $1,000 has 8 years until maturity, has a coupon rate of 8%, and sells for $1,100. What is the yield to maturity if interest is paid once a year? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 4 decimal places. What is the yield to maturity if interest is paid semiannually? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 4 decimal places.
A corporate bond returns 12 percent of its cost (in present value terms) in the first year, 11 percent in the second year, 10 percent in the third year, and the remainder in the fourth year. What is the bond's duration in years? Please show all the steps including the equation.
What is the market price of a zero-coupon bond (that is, a bond that will not pay any coupon payments) that will mature in 20 years and has the face value of $1,000? Assume the yield to maturity is 6.2%, and that it will compound semiannually. Group of answer choices $372.53 $350.24 $300.27 $294.89
Rework part (f), assuming that Annie holds the bond for 10 years and sells it when the required return is 7.0%. Compare your finding to that in part (f), and comment on the bond's maturity risk. PV= 1,000 N=10 I/Y= 7% Assume that Annie buys the bond at its current price of $983.80 and holds it until maturity. What will her current yield and yield to maturity (YTM) be, assuming annual interest? After evaluating all of the issues raised above, what recommendation would you give Annie with regard to her proposed investment in the Atilier Industries bonds?
What is the yield on a CD with an 5.5 percent rate, 180 days to maturity when initially issued, and 30 days remaining until its maturity, if it is selling at 1.25 percent above its face value?
Consider a $1200 bond that makes $30 annual coupon payments. If the interest rate is 2 percent and the bond matures in two years, what is the bond's present value? Carefully follow all mathematical instructions. Round intermediate steps to four decimal places and your final answer to two decimal places.
f a coupon bond has two years to maturity, a coupon rate of 8%, a par value of $1000, and a yield to maturity of 12%, then the coupon bond will sell for $ ? (Round your response to the nearest two decimal place) What will the coupon bond sell for?
A semiannual payment bond with a $1,000 par has a 7 percent quoted coupon rate, a 7 percent promised YTM, and 10 years to maturity. What is the bond's duration? If interest rates are expected to rise by one half of a percent, by how much would you expect the price to change using the modified duration equation? How much would you expect the price to change using convexity? You need to use the bond duration and convexity calculator to answer this question.
Making the assumption of no compounding interest , suppose you purchase a perpetuity bond from CosoNostra Pizza Inc. for $ 4,000 with an annual coupon rate of 3 % . Specify all answers to the nearest dollar , and assume a discount rate equal to that of the current interest rate . Changes in the economy push interest rates up from 3 % to 5 % . For how much can you sell your bond following this change in market interest rates ?
What is the discount yield, bond equivalent yield, and effective annual return on a $7 million commercial paper issue that currently sells at 98.75 percent of its face value and is 122 days from maturity? (Use 360 days for discount yield and 365 days in a year for bond equivalent yield and effective annual return. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answers to 3 decimal places. (e.g., 32.161))
