If Annie buys the bond today at its $1,000 par value and holds it for exactly 3 years, at which time the required return is 7.0%, how much of a gain or loss will she experience in the value of the bond (ignoring interest already received and assuming annual interest)? Rework part (f), assuming that Annie holds the bond for 10 years and sells it when the required return is 7.0%. Compare your finding to that in part (f), and comment on the bond's maturity risk. Assume that Annie buys the bond at its current price of $983.80 and holds it until maturity. What will her current yield and yield to maturity (YTM) be, assuming annual interest? After evaluating all of the issues raised above, what recommendation would you give Annie with regard to her proposed investment in the Atilier Industries bonds?

Susan can buy a zero-coupon bond that will pay 1,000 at the end of 12 years and is currently selling for 624.60. Instead, she purchases a bond with 6% semi-annual coupons that will pay 1,000 at the end of 10 years.

Bob uses 19481 to purchase a 10-year par-value bond (i.e. redeems at face-value). Coupons are paid out annually (end of the year) and each coupon is equal to 2% of the face-value of the bond. If each coupon payment is invested into an account that earns an effective annual interest rate of 2.4%, then what is the face-value of the bond if Bob realizes an overall yield of 3.36% per year effective over the 10 year period? Give your answer rounded to the nearest whole number (i.e. X).
Bill buys a 10-year 1000 par value 5% bond with semi-annual coupons. The price assumes a nominal yield of 6%, compounded semi-annually. As Bill receives each coupon payment, he immediately puts the money into an account earning interest at an annual effective rate of i. At the end of 10 years, after the final coupon, redemption value and accumulated value in the extra account shows that Bill has earned at an annual rate of 6.5%. Calculate i.
