In October 2010, you purchased a French government bond for €100 (face value) which pays a 1% coupon (nominal interest rate) every year until 2020. Today, in October 2014, similar bonds are issued at a 2% interest rate. What is the value of your bond today? d) If the value of the above French bond was €100 today (in October 2014), what would be its implicit yield-to-maturity?

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?

In November 2014 you purchase a three-year U.S. government bond. The bond has an annual coupon rate of 4.25%, paid semiannually. If investors demand a 0.965% APR, what is the price of the bond? If you could demonstrate this solution in Excel, that would be appreciated.
A government bond has coupon yield 10.9%, face value of 4000 EUR, and maturity in 2026. The coupons are paid yearly. Today is 2022, and we just received a coupon. The government yield curve for time-to-maturity 4 years shows a yield of 5.0%. 1. What is the fair price of the bond today? 2. What is the duration of the bond?
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, 6 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 8.9 percent paid annually. If the YTM is 10.9 percent, what is the current bond price in euros? Can this be solved only with excel or I can use a financial calculator?

Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of 1,000 euros, 27 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 3.6% paid annually. If the yield to maturity is 3.2%, what is the current price of the bond in euros?

Suppose that today is October 30th, 2021. A US Treasury bond was issued four months ago, i.e. on June 30th, 2021, with the following characteristics. It will pay back a par value of 1,000 USD two years after the issuance date, and it also pays coupons calculated with an annual coupon rate of 6.3%. The annual interest rate is constant at 4%. Assume that every month is made of 30 days. a. What is the value of the interest rate that you decide to use to price such a bond? If it is already available in the exercise, just report it. If it is not available, compute it. b. Compute the current price of this bond, which you will read on the Wall Street Journal, as of October 30th, 2021. Please clearly list as b1, b2, b3 etc, all the steps in your solution.
