Question 3. A fixed rate bond with notional 1 pays annual coupons of c at times T1, T2, . . . , Tn where Ti+1 = Ti + 1 and notional 1 at time Tn. a) Write down the bond price BFXD c (t) at time t ≤ T0 in terms of ZCBs. b) Suppose t = T0 = 0. The yield of the bond is defined as the value Y such that B FXD c (0) = Xn i=1 c (1 + Y ) i + 1 (1 + Y ) n , that is, the rate at which IRR discounting gives the bond price. By summing a geometric series, show that BFXD c (0) = 1 if and only if Y = c. c) By writing a swap as the difference between a fixed rate bond and a floating rate bond, show that BFXD c (0) = 1 if and only if c = y0[0, Tn]. Remark 1. This exercise shows that the T-year spot swap rate is the bond coupon such that a T-maturity bond has price par, that is 100% of notional.
a) All things being equal If a bond's coupon rate is higher than its yieldto maturity (YTM), is the bond selling at a discount, premium or par?b) All things being equal If a bond's coupon rate is lower than its yield tomaturity (YTM), is the bond selling at a discount, premium or par?c) All things being equal If a bond's coupon rate is equal to its yield tomaturity (YTM), then is the bond selling at a discount, premium or par?d) All else being equal, the longer the term to maturity, the greater orthe lower the duration?f) All else being equal, the higher the coupon rate on the bond, theshorter or the longer the duration of the bond?
