QUESTION EIGHTa) What is the relationship between the price of a bond and its YTM? b) Explain why some bonds sell at a premium over par value while other bonds sell at a discount.What do you know about the relationship between the coupon rate and the YTM for premiumbonds? What about for discount bonds? For bonds selling at par value? c) What is the relationship between the current yield and YTM for premium bonds? For discountbonds? For bonds selling at par value? SEBO PLC just paid a dividend of K2.75 per share. The company will increase its dividend by 20 percent next year and will then reduce its dividend growth rate by 5 percentage points per year until it reaches the industry average of 5 percent dividend growth, after which the company will keep a constant growth rate forever. If the required return on SEBO stock is 13 percent, what will a share of stock sell for today?
QUESTION 19 Which of the following is not a correct statement about the bond? Bond can be either non-interest-bearing or interest-bearing. Non-interest-bearing bonds sell at discount upon issuance. Price of a discount bond will go up as it approaches maturity. There is an inverse relation between the bond price and interest rate. Baseline interest rate for the bond market is LIBOR rate.
Which of the following would result in a decrease in bond prices? Question 8 options: Interest rates decrease. Time passes and a discount bond moves closer to maturity. The bond rating of a bond changes from BBB to C.

Required:(a) If both bonds had a required rate of return of 10%, what would the bonds’ prices be?(b) Explain what it means when a bond is selling at a discount, a premium, or at its face amount (par value). Based on results in part (a), would you consider both bonds to be selling at a discount, premium, or at par?
4. Bond valuation The process of bond valuation is based on the fundamental concept that the current price of a security can be determined by calculating the present value of the cash flows that the security will generate in the future. There is a consistent and predictable relationship between a bond’s coupon rate, its par value, a bondholder’s required return, and the bond’s resulting intrinsic value. Trading at a discount, trading at a premium, and trading at par refer to particular relationships between a bond’s intrinsic value and its par value. This also results from the relationship between a bond’s coupon rate and a bondholder’s required rate of return. Remember, a bond’s coupon rate partially determines the interest-based return that a bondwill pay, and a bondholder’s required return reflects the return that a bondholderis obligated to receive from a given investment. The mathematics of bond valuation imply a predictable relationship between the bond’s…

Question 3. A fixed rate bond with notional 1 pays annual coupons of c at times T1, T2, . . . , Tn where Ti+1 = Ti + 1 and notional 1 at time Tn. a) Write down the bond price BFXD c (t) at time t ≤ T0 in terms of ZCBs. b) Suppose t = T0 = 0. The yield of the bond is defined as the value Y such that B FXD c (0) = Xn i=1 c (1 + Y ) i + 1 (1 + Y ) n , that is, the rate at which IRR discounting gives the bond price. By summing a geometric series, show that BFXD c (0) = 1 if and only if Y = c. c) By writing a swap as the difference between a fixed rate bond and a floating rate bond, show that BFXD c (0) = 1 if and only if c = y0[0, Tn]. Remark 1. This exercise shows that the T-year spot swap rate is the bond coupon such that a T-maturity bond has price par, that is 100% of notional.
