BOND VALUATION You are considering a 10-year, 1,000 par value bond. Its coupon rate is 8%, and interest is paid semiannually. If you require an effective annual interest rate (not a nominal rate) of 7.1225%, how much should you be willing to pay for the bond?
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?
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. If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the real 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.
8.6. Bond Yields A Japanese company has a bond outstanding that sells for 106 percent of its ¥100,000 par value. The bond has a coupon rate of 2.8 percent paid annually and matures in 17 years. What is the yield to maturity of this bond?
P6–23 Bond valuation and yield to maturity Mark Goldsmith’s broker has shown him two bonds issued by different companies. Each has a maturity of 5 years, a par value of $1,000, and a yield to maturity of 7.5%. The first bond is issued by Crabbe Waste Disposal Corporation and has a coupon rate of 6.324% paid annually. The second bond, issued by Malfoy Enterprises, has a coupon rate of 8.8% paid annually. A. Calculate the selling price for each bond. B. Mark has $20,000 to invest. If he wants to invest only in bonds issued by Crabbe Waste Disposal, how many of those bonds could he buy? What if he wants to invest only in bonds issued by Malfoy Enterprises? Round your answers to the nearest integer. C. What is the total interest income that Mark could earn each year if he invested only in Crabbe bonds? How much interest would he earn each year if he invested only in Malfoy bonds?

The second bond, issued by Malfoy Enterprises, has a coupon rate of 8.8% paid annually. D. Assume that Mark will reinvest all the interest he receives as it is paid, and his rate of return on reinvested interest will be 10%. Calculate the total dollars that Mark will accumulate over 5 years if he invests in Crabbe bonds or Malfoy bonds. Your total dollar calculation will include the interest Mark gets, the principal he receives when the bonds mature, and all the additional interest he earns from reinvesting the coupon payments that he receives. E. The bonds issued by Crabbe and Malfoy might appear to be equally good investments because they offer the same yield to…
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?
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.
