Assume you have some money and want to save to amass a given amount at the end of 5 years. One of the options you have is a 5-year, 10% coupon bond that is currently selling at par. Assume that bond is default free. What will determine the total amount of money you will have at the end of year 5 if you buy the bond today?

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?
What would be the value of the bond described in Part d if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13% return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond? What would happen to the bond’s value if inflation fell and rd declined to 7%? Would we now have a premium or a discount bond? What would happen to the value of the 10-year bond over time if the required rate of return remained at 13%? If it remained at 7%? (Hint: With a financial calculator, enter PMT, I/YR, FV, and N, and then change N to see what happens to the PV as the bond approaches maturity.)
Yield to Maturity and Yield to Call Arnot International’s bonds have a current market price of $1,200. The bonds have an 11% annual coupon payment, a $1,000 face value, and 10 years left until maturity. The bonds may be called in 5 years at 109% of face value (call price = $1,090). What is the yield to maturity? What is the yield to call if they are called in 5 years? Which yield might investors expect to earn on these bonds, and why? The bond’s indenture indicates that the call provision gives the firm the right to call them at the end of each year beginning in Year 5. In Year 5, they may be called at 109% of face value, but in each of the next 4 years the call percentage will decline by 1 percentage point. Thus, in Year 6 they may be called at 108% of face value, in Year 7 they may be called at 107% of face value, and so on. If the yield curve is horizontal and interest rates remain at their current level, when is the latest that investors might expect the firm to call the bonds?

Suppose you purchase a $1,000 bond with a coupon rate of 8% matures in 5 years at par, and you plan to sell it at the end of 3 years at the prevailing market price.

Assume that you purchase a 30-year $1,000 par value bond, with a 12% coupon, and a yield of 9%. Immediately after you purchase the bond, yields change to 8% and remain at that level to maturity. Assume that you hold the bond for 6 years and then sell it. Interest is paid annually. PART A: What is the price of the bond today? PART B: What is the price of the bond after 7 years? Part C: Now, calculate the realized horizon yield for this bond if you hold it for 7 years and then sell it.
Please show work You want to purchase a bond that will pay you $300 per year for the next four years. If the annual interest rate is 4%, then what is the price of your bond if the market is in equilibrium? You buy a stock that is expected to pay a dividend of $300 per year for the next four years. If the discount rate is 5.5%, then what is the stock price in this case? Is this result the one you would expect when comparing this answer to the one you obtained in question 3? Why or why not?
