What would be the value of the bond described in Part d if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13% return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond? What would happen to the bond’s value if inflation fell and rd declined to 7%? Would we now have a premium or a discount bond? What would happen to the value of the 10-year bond over time if the required rate of return remained at 13%? If it remained at 7%? (Hint: With a financial calculator, enter PMT, I/YR, FV, and N, and then change N to see what happens to the PV as the bond approaches 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?
A fixed-income analyst, Sean, observes a 7-year, 8% semiannual-pay bond. the face amount is ¥1,000. He believes that the yield-to-maturity (YTM) on a semiannual bond basis should be 12.29%. Based on this yield estimate, the price of this bond would be A. ¥942.73. B. ¥900.89. C. ¥828.39. D. ¥802.40.

Q1-8. A market maker wants to delta hedge a long position of $10 million in face value of 20-year bonds with 30-year bonds until he/she finds a buyer of the 20-year bonds. DV01 of the 20-year BF2201 Investments 4 bond is 0.1184 and DV01 of the 30-year bond is 0.1429. If the 20-year yield is expected to rise 1.1bp for each 1bp increase in the 30-year bond, what should be the position of the 30-year bond for this market maker? A. Short position of $13.28 million B. Long position of 13.28 million C. Short position of 10.97 million D. Short position of 9.11 million E. Short position of 7.53 million
On 5/15/2008, the thirty-year T-bond with a coupon of 5.00%, and maturing on 5/15/2038 was quoted at a clean price of 102.50. The general collateral repo rate for a term of one month was 4.775%. Your investment bank receives an order from a client to buy this bond forward in one month’s time. What is the forward price that you should quote? Why? How should your desk hedge itself assuming that the deal is done on May 15, 2008?

• When the bond’s coupon rate is less than the bondholder’s required return, the bond’s intrinsic value will be less than its par value, and the bond will trade at . For example, assume Oliver wants to earn a return of 10.50% and is offered the opportunity to purchase a $1,000 par value bond that pays a 8.75% coupon rate (distributed semiannually) with three years remaining to maturity. The following formula can be used to compute the bond’s intrinsic value: Intrinsic ValueIntrinsic Value = = A(1+C)1+A(1+C)2+A(1+C)3+A(1+C)4+A(1+C)5+A(1+C)6+B(1+C)6A1+C1+A1+C2+A1+C3+A1+C4+A1+C5+A1+C6+B1+C6 Complete the following table by identifying the appropriate corresponding variables used in the equation.

A 1-year Treasury bond currently yields 6.0%, and a 2-year bond yields 7.0%. Mr. A, an investor who want to invest for a 2-year horizon is choosing between buying the 2-year security and hold it for 2 years and buy a 1-year security and hold it for 1 year and reinvest the proceeds in another 1-year security. Holding the pure expectation theory, what would be the rate of the 1-year rate 1 year from now so that options of Mr. A will be indifferent? 8% 6% 7% 6.5%
For example, assume Sophia wants to earn a return of 7.00% and is offered the opportunity to purchase a $1,000 par value bond that pays a 7.00% coupon rate (distributed semiannually) with three years remaining to maturity.

Again, assume that the bond pays semiannual interest payments and has three years to maturity. If you round the bond’s…
Assume that you are considering the purchase of a 30-year, noncallable bond with an annual coupon rate of 13.0%. The bond has a face value of $1,000, and it makes semiannual interest payments.
