- Investors sometimes fear that a high-risk investment is especially likely to have low returns. Is this fear true? Does a high risk mean the return must be low?a) Suppose you put $350 into a bank account today. Interest is paid annually and the annual interest rate is 6 percent. What is the future value of the $350 after 4 years? b) Suppose you are deciding whether to buy a particular bond from your local municipality. If you buy the bond and hold it for 4 years, then at that time you will receive a payment of $10,000. Assume the interest rateis6percent. Underwhatcircumstanceswillyoubuythebond?Meaninguptowhatpriceareyou willing to pay.2. Assume a bond with the following characteristics: face value = $1000; maturity = 5 years; N yearly coupon payments = $100. a. If the current price of this bond is $850, state what the formula is to calculate the bond's yield to maturity and state the range of interest rates where the yield to maturity should fall b. If you purchased this bond at face value and held it for 1 year, when you resold it for $850, what is the bond's rate of return?
- Suppose that you purchase a 2 year coupon bond at the time it is issued for $1100. The face value of the bond is $1000, with annual coupon payments of $80. a. What is the bond’s “coupon rate”? b. What is the bond’s “current yield”? c. What is the bond’s (nominal) “yield to maturity”? d. If you hold the bond for 1 year and sell it for $1035 (after collecting the first coupon payment), what is your “holding period rate of return”? Please answer all part otherwise DounvoteSuppose an ordinary bond has a coupon rate of 10 percent, the yield to maturity is quotedat 12 percent. This is semiannual coupon, the bond matures in ten years. Calculate thebond’s price. Calculate the effective annual yield on this bond.A 12 percent semiannual coupon bond matures in 9 years. The bond has a face value of $1,000 and a current yield (CY) of 11.62 percent. What is the bond’s yield to maturity (YTM)? how would I calculate in a BA II PLUS FINANCIAL CALCULATOR. 4
- bond valuation An investor has two nonds in her portfolio, bond C and bond Z. each bond maturres in 4 years has a face value of 1000, and has a yield to maturity of 9.6% bond C pays a 10% annual coupon, while bond Z is a zeo coupon bond . b- assuming that the yield to maturity of each bond remains at9.6% over the next 4 years, calculate the price of the bonds at each of the following years to maturity year 4,3,2,1,0 b- plot the time path of price for each bondConsider a 25-year loan with an annual interest rate of 7 percent and monthly payments of $1,201.53. The discount points charged by the lender at origination are 3 percent and the cost of borrower title insurance and mortgage insurance are, respectively, 0.5 percent and 2.0 percent of the loan amount. Additional fees paid to other third parties (i.e., not the lender) will equal $4,000. What is the loan amount? What is the lender’s yield/IRR? What is the effective borrowing cost (EBC)? USE EXCELConsider a coupon bond that has a par value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 8%. The bond is currently selling for $1,055.78 and has 2 years to maturity. What is the bond's yield to maturity (YTM)? The yield to maturity is %. (Round your response to one decimal place.)
