Problem 6-16 Bond Returns (LO2, 3) A bond has 10 years until maturity, a coupon rate of 9%, and sells for $1,100. Interest is paid annually. (Assume a face value of $1,000.) If the bond has a yield to maturity of 9% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. What will be the rate of return on the bond? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.

Problem 6-19 Interest Rate Risk (LO3) Consider three bonds with 5.10% coupon rates, all making annual coupon payments and all selling at face value. The short-term bond has a maturity of 4 years, the intermediate-term bond has a maturity of 8 years, and the long-term bond has a maturity of 30 years. need last 2
Problem 6-32 Credit Risk (LO4) a. Several years ago, Castles in the Sand Inc. issued bonds at face value of $1,000 at a yield to maturity of 7.4%. Now, with 8 years left until the maturity of the bonds, the company has run into hard times and the yield to maturity on the bonds has increased to 12%. What is the price of the bond now? (Assume semiannual coupon payments.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. Suppose that investors believe that Castles can make good on the promised coupon payments but that the company will go bankrupt when the bond matures and the principal comes due. The expectation is that investors will receive only 82% of face value at maturity. If they buy the bond today, what yield to maturity do they expect to receive? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Problem 3 Linz Styles Coupon Rate (RWJJ Ch. 20, Q5) Linz Stylers intends to issue perpetual callable bonds with annual coupon payments. The bonds are callable at $1,250. One-year interest rates are 11 percent. There is a 60 percent probability that long-term interest rates one year from today will be 13 percent, and a 40 percent probability that long-term interest rates will be 9 percent or even lower. Assume that if interest rates fall, the fall will be sufficient for the bonds to be called. What coupon rate should the bonds have in order to sell at par value?
Problem 6-3 Bond Prices [LO 2] Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 7 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 8.8 percent paid annually. If the YTM is 10.8 percent, what is the current bond price in euros?
hapter 12Financial Planning Exercise 15Calculating current yield and return on investment Assume that an investor pays $900 for a long-term bond that carries a 9% coupon. During the next 12 months, interest rates drop sharply, and the investor sells the bond at a price of $962.50. Assume that bond's par value is $1,000 and use annual compounding of interest. Find the current yield that existed on this bond at the beginning of the year. Round the answer to two decimal places. % What was it by the end of the 1-year holding period?

A2 8e with inflation rates. may i please have your reply in formula version not excel. thanks:) You have just received an inheritance of $20,000. You wish to invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, which you think are less risky than stocks. After some research, you have narrowed down your choices to the following three fixed income securities: One-year Treasury Bill: Face value of $1000 Yield to maturity of 1.74% Coupon Bond A: Two years to maturityFace value of $1000Coupon rate of 3%, with semi-annual coupon paymentsPrice multiple of face value = 1.0189 Coupon Bond B: Five years to maturityFace value of $1000Coupon rate of 3.5%, with annual coupon paymentsYield to maturity of 2.51% All yields to maturity are compounded semi-annually. Adjusting real interest rate for inflation: (1 + real yield) = (1 + nominal yield) / (1 + inflation rate) One Year Treasury Bill: 1 + real yield = 1.0174 / 1.015 1 + real yield = 1.002365 Real yield = 1.002365 – 1 = .2365% Coupon…
vvk.5 The real risk-free rate is 4%. Inflation is expected to be 2% this year, 3% next year, and then 4.5% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.0006 \times (t - 1), where t = number of years to maturity. What is the nominal interest rate on a 7-year Treasury security?

INV problem 3 question 3 The spot rate for the first year, the forward rate for the second year, and the forward rate for third year are 5.2%, 5.4%, and 5.5%, respectively. A corporate bond has a $1000 face value, 3 years to maturity, and a 5% annual coupon. This bond is retractable (puttable) only at two times: at the end of year 1 for $975, and at the end of year 2 for $990. These bonds trade at a 2% yield spread to the stated term structure, and issue costs are minimal and can be ignored. Applying the PEH, when, if ever, would you expect the bondholders to put the bond back to the corporation?
Mf3. Question Two (B) A five-year bond is issued with a face value of GHC3000. The bond pays coupon semiannually at 10%. The yield to maturity is 8%. Another five-year bond with the same face value is provides a coupon of 15% but the yield to maturity is 12.5%. You are required to calculate a) the price of each bond b) the duration of each bond c) the convexity of each bond d) If interest rate increases by 500 basis points, calculate and identify which bond will experience a higher change in price in terms of percentage and absolute amount.
