(B) Suppose the floor for the inverse floater is 1%. What would be the cap of the floater?

Consider a coupon bond with a face value of $100, a coupon rate of 25%, a time-to-maturity of two years and a price of $121.97. What is its yield-to-maturity?(Use the quadratic formula)
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Consider a coupon bond with coupon payment=4.25, M=100, and n=2. Suppose ?1 = 4% and ?2 = 4.24%. Consider a forward contract for the delivery of the coupon bond in one period from today. Calculate the forward price using the following two approaches: 1) use the forward rate to price the forward contract; 2) use the cost of carry approach: spot-forward parity adjusted for the coupons.
Given the yield on a 3-year zero-coupon bond is 8.2% and forward rates of 6.3% in Year 1 and 7.1% in Year 2, what must be the forward rate in Year 3?

What general principle does this example illustrate regarding a project’slife, its discounted payback period, and its NPV?2. Why is the NPV considered to be theoretically superior to all other capital budgeting techniques?Reconcile this result with the prevalence of the use of IRR in practice. How would you respond toyour CFO if she instructed you to use the IRR technique to make capital budgeting decisions onprojects with cash flow streams that alternate between inflows and outflows?
Assume that Temp Force has a beta coefficient of 1.2, that the risk-free rate (the yield on T-bonds) is 7.0%, and that the market risk premium is 5%. What is the required rate of return on the firms stock?
Suppose there is a large probability that L will default on its debt. For the purpose of this example, assume that the value of Ls operations is 4 million (the value of its debt plus equity). Assume also that its debt consists of 1-year, zero coupon bonds with a face value of 2 million. Finally, assume that Ls volatility, , is 0.60 and that the risk-free rate rRF is 6%.
A two-year maturity floater. Assume annual coupon payment and $1,000 par. Its discount rate is Libor + 2%. The discount rate for fixed cash flows is 2% a. What is the price of this floater if the coupon is Libor + 2%? b. What is the price of this floater if the coupon is Libor + 1%?
Assume that the real risk-free rate is 1.9% and that the maturity risk premium is zero. If a 1-year Treasury bond yield is 5.6% and a 2-year Treasury bond yields 6.3%. Calculate the yield using a geometric average. What is the 1-year interest rate that is expected for Year 2? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % What inflation rate is expected during Year 2? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % Comment on why the average interest rate during the 2-year period differs from the 1-year interest rate expected for Year 2. The difference is due to the fact that the maturity risk premium is zero. The difference is due to the fact that we are dealing with very short-term bonds. For longer term bonds, you would not expect an interest rate differential. The difference is due to the fact that there is no liquidity risk premium. The difference is due to the inflation rate reflected in the two interest…
A 6% coupon bond with semiannual coupons has a convexity (in years) of 120, sells for 80% of par, and is priced at a yield to maturity of 8%. If the YTM increases to 9.5% what is the predicted contribution of convexity to the percentage change in price due to convexity?
