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?
The annual yield on a 4-year corporate security is 6.875 percent, while the annual yield on a 6-year corporate security is 7.85 percent. Assume that the real, risk-free rate of interest is expected to be constant over time at 2 percent, the default risk and liquidity premium on both securities is equal to 1.75 percent. Also assume that the maturity risk premium for all securities can be estimated as MPRt = (0.15%)*(t-1) where t is the number of periods until maturity. your analysis shows that the expected rate of inflation for year 2 is 2%. Year 3 is 3.5%. The expected rate of inflation for year 5 is 4.5%. Determine the anticipated rate of inflation for year 6.

The price of Stock Y, which is currently $80, can go to $120, $90, or $60 in 6 months’ time. Security A pays $1 if the price of Stock Y in 6 months is $120, and zero otherwise. Security B pays $1 if the price of Stock Y in 6 months is $90, and zero otherwise. Security C pays $1 if the price of Stock Y in 6 months is $60, and zero otherwise. The prices of these securities are ??, ??, and ??, respectively. The discretely compounded risk-free interest rate is 5% per half-year (not annualized).
