- Lynn Parsons is considering investing in either of two outstanding bonds. The bonds both have $1,000 par values and 13% coupon interest rates and pay annual interest. Bond A has exactly 6 years to maturity, and bond B has 16 years to maturity. b.Calculate the present value of bond B if the required rate of return is: (1) 10%, (2) 13%, and (3) 16%. c. From your findings in parts a and b, discuss the relationship between time to maturity and changing required returns. d. If Lynn wanted to minimize interest rate risk, which bond should she purchase? Why? I need all parts and the sub parts answeredStacy Picone is an aggressive bond trader who likes to speculate on interest rate swings. Market interest rates are currently at 10.0%, but she expects them to fall to 8.0% within a year. As a result, Stacy is thinking about buying either a 25-year, zero-coupon bond or a 20-year, 8.5% bond. (Both bonds have $1,000 par values and carry the same agency rating.) Assuming that Stacy wants to maximize capital gains, which of the two issues should she select? What if she wants to maximize the total return (interest income and capital gains) from her investment? Why did one issue provide better capital gains than the other? Based on the duration of each bond, which one should be more price volatile? The capital gain of the zero-coupon bond is $65.4065.40. (Round to the nearest cent.) The capital gain of the coupon-bearing bond is $nothing. (Round to the nearest cent.)Two bonds, A and B, have the same credit rating, the same par value, and the same coupon rate. Bond A has 30 years to maturity and bond B has 5 years to maturity. Please demonstrate your understanding of interest rate risk by answering the following questions : As a bond investor, if you expect a slowdown in the economy over the next 12 months, what would be your investment strategy?
- Stacy Picone is an aggressive bond trader who likes to speculate on interest rate swings. Market interest rates are currently at 7.5%,but she expects them to fall to 5.5% within a year. As a result, Stacy is thinking about buying either a 25-year, zero-coupon bond or a 20-year, 6.0% bond. (Both bonds have $1,000 par values and carry the same agency rating.) Assuming that Stacy wants to maximize capital gains, which of the two issues should she select? What if she wants to maximize the total return (interest income and capital gains) from her investment? Why did one issue provide better capital gains than the other? Based on the duration of each bond, which one should be more price volatile?You are an investment manager evaluating two corporate bonds, each with a maturity value of $100,000. Each bond matures in exactly 10 years and each bond has a yield-to-maturity (YTM) of 5%. Bond 1 pays a coupon of 8% and Bond 2 pays a coupon of 3%. Without doing any math, which bond trades at a higher price? Which bond is more sensitive to changes in interest rates? If both bonds have the identical maturity date and YTM, then why do they trade at different prices? Is this a violation of The Law of One Price ? If you buy Bond 1, what is the NPV of the cash flows?You are a financial manager and you have bonds worth $3,000,000 in your portfolio which have a 7 % coupon rate and will be maturing in 10 years from now. What type of risk exposure do you face on these bonds? Suppose a futures contract on these bonds is available with a standard contract size of US$300,000 per contract. How will you hedge your exposure? If the market interest rates change to 9 %, what will be your position? Kindly, show calculations on how you arrive at your answer.
- After careful consideration, you decide that you want to diversify your portfolio and invest in the bonds of HCA Healthcare. The bonds pay interest annually, will mature in 25 years, and have a coupon rate of 4% on a face value of $1,000. Currently, the bonds are selling for $910. If you are looking for a required return of 7% for this bond, what is the highest price you would be willing to pay?What is the current yield of these bonds?What is the yield to maturity on these bonds if you purchase them at the current price? (Use the Rate function) If you hold the bonds for two years, and interest rates do not change, what total rate of return will you earn, assuming that you pay the market price? If the bonds can be called in 4 years with a call premium of 6% of the face value, what is the yield to call?You are a financial manager and you have bonds worth $3,000,000 in your portfolio which have a 7 percent coupon rate and will be maturing in 10 years from now. The market rate is also 7 percent. Suppose a futures contract on these bonds is available with a standard contract size of $300,000 per contract. a) If the market interest rates change to 9 percent, show through relevant calculations, how your hedge will protect you from loss.

Suppose a futures contract on these bonds is available with a standard contract size of $300,000 per contract. a) What type of risk are you exposed to and how will you hedge your exposure?You have a large amount of money to invest for a short term of two years. You have done some market research and found that an Auckland International Airports bond maturing in one year yields 3%p.a., and an Auckland International Airports bond maturing in two years yields 5%p.a. You are quite confident that because of rising interest rates, in one year's time the two-year bond (which by then will have one year left until maturity) will yield 7%p.a., Explain whether you should invest in the two-year bond now or buy the one-year bond and renew your investment in a year’s time?An investor is presented with the following two alternative investment strategies: purchase a 3-year bond with an interest rate of 6% and hold it until maturity or, purchase a 1-year bond with an interest rate of 7%, and when it matures, purchase another 1-year bond with an expected interest rate of 6%, and when it matures, purchase another 1-year bond with an interest rate of 5%. What is the expected return of the first strategy? What is the expected average return over the 3-years for the second strategy? Why does our anayses of the expectations theory indicate that this is exactly what you should expect to find?
