What is the stand-alone risk? Use the scenario data to calculate the standard deviation of the bonds return for the next year.
Suppose a 10-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 is currently selling for 1,135.90, producing a nominal yield to maturity of 8%. However, the bond can be called after 5 years for a price of 1,050. (1) What is the bonds nominal yield to call (YTC)? (2) If you bought this bond, do you think you would be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC? Why?
Your client has decided that the risk of the bond portfolio is acceptable and wishes to leave it as it is. Now your client has asked you to use historical returns to estimate the standard deviation of Blandy’s stock returns. (Note: Many analysts use 4 to 5 years of monthly returns to estimate risk, and many use 52 weeks of weekly returns; some even use a year or less of daily returns. For the sake of simplicity, use Blandy’s 10 annual returns.)

A fixed income analyst has made the following assessments: The risk-free rate is expected to remain at 2.5% for the next 10 year. Inflation is expected to be 3% this year, 4% next year and 5% a year thereafter. The maturity risk-premium is 0.1% (t-1), where t= maturity of the bond. A 5-year corporate bond currently yield 8.5 percent. What will be the yield on the bond one year from now, if the above assessments are correct, and the bond's default premium and liquidity premium remain unchanged?
