Interest Rate Sensitivity A bond trader purchased each of the following bonds at a yield to maturity of 8%. Immediately after she purchased the bonds, interest rates fell to 7%. What is the percentage change in the price of each bond after the decline in interest rates? Assume annual coupons and annual compounding. Fill in the following table:
CHALLENGE PROBLEM The long-term liabilities section of Guyton Enterprises follows. The bonds outstanding on January 1, 20-1, have an annual coupon rate of 4% and had been issued several years ago at a price to yield 5% per year. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method. On December 31, 20-1, 900,000, 5% bonds were issued at a price to yield 6%. REQUIRED Compute the cash received from issuing the bonds on December 31, 20-1. (Hint: If you have not covered the effective interest method, assume that bond interest expense for 20-1 was 44,767.)
Bond Valuation and Changes in Maturity and Required Returns Suppose Hillard Manufacturing sold an issue of bonds with a 10-year maturity, a 1,000 par value, a 10% coupon rate, and semiannual interest payments. a. Two years after the bonds were issued, the going rate of interest on bonds such as these fell to 6%. At what price would the bonds sell? b. Suppose that 2 years after the initial offering, the going interest rate had risen to 12%. At what price would the bonds sell? c. Suppose that 2 years after the issue date (as in Part a) interest rates fell to 6%. Suppose further that the interest rate remained at 6% for the next 8 years. What would happen to the price of the bonds over time?
5-20-The problem requires you to use File C05 on the computer problem spreadsheet. a.Assume today is January 2, and the expected inflation rates for the next fiveyears are as follows: Year Inflation Rate 1 8.0% 2 6.0 3 4.0 4 3.0 5 5.0 In Year 6 and thereafter, inflation is expected to be 3 percent. The maturityrisk premium (MRP) is 0.1 percent per year to maturity for bonds withmaturities greater than six months, with a maximum MRP equal to2 percent. The real risk-free rate of return is currently 2.5 percent, and it isexpected to remain at this level long into the future.

The bond is currently selling at 35% below par. Required: By what percent will the price of the bonds increase between now and maturity based on semi-annual analysis? Answer% Intermediate calculations must be rounded to 3 decimal places (at least). Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places (for example: 28.31%).
A particular long-term corporate bond is quoted at 13.55%. Real risk-free rate is constant at 1% while liquidity risk premium is 1.50%.

Assume that it is now 3rd January, 2010. The rate of inflation is expected to be 6 percent throughout 2010. However, increased government deficits and renewed vigor in the economy are then expected to push inflation rates higher. Investors expect the inflation rate to be 7 percent in 2011, 8 percent in 2012, 9 percent in 2013 and 11 percent in 2014. The real risk-free rate, k*, is expected to remain at 4 percent over the next 6 years. Assume that no maturity risk premiums are required on bonds with 5 years or less to maturity. The current interest rate on 6-year T-bonds is 12 percent. Required: What is the average expected inflation rate over the next 5 years? What should be the prevailing interest rate on 5-year T-bonds? What is the implied expected inflation rate in 2015, or Year 6, given that Treasury bonds which mature in that year yield 12 percent?

Media Bias Incorporated issued bonds 10 years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 40-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 11 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point in time as described below: Real rate of return 2% Inflation premium 4 Risk premium 5 Total return 11% Assume that 10 years later, due to good publicity, the risk premium is now 3 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 30 years remaining until maturity. Compute the new price of the bond. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.
