Describe and differentiate between a bonds (a) current yield and (b) yield to maturity. Why are these yield measures important to the bond investor? Find the yield to maturity of a 20-year, 9 percent, 1,000 par value bond trading at a price of 850. Whats the current yield on this bond?
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.)
Which of these two bonds offers the highest current yield? Which one has the highest yield to maturity? a. A 6.55 percent, 22-year bond quoted at 52.000 b. A 10.25 percent, 27-year bond quoted at 103.625
Which of the following statements is most correct? All of the statements are correct. The yield on a 3-year Treasury bond cannot exceed the yield on a 10-year Treasury bond. The yield on a 3-year corporate bond will always exceed the yield on a 2-year corporate bond. The yield on a 2-year corporate bond will always exceed the yield on a 2-year Treasury bond.
If the pure expectations theory of the term structure is correct, which of the following statements would be CORRECT? a. If a 1-year Treasury bill has a yield to maturity of 7% and a 2-year Treasury bill has a yield to maturity of 8%, this would imply the market believes that 1-year rates will be 7.5% one year from now. b. The yield on a 5-year corporate bond should always exceed the yield on a 3-year Treasury bond. c. Interest rate (price) risk is higher on long-term bonds, but reinvestment rate risk is higher on short-term bonds. d. An upward-sloping yield curve would imply that interest rates are expected to be lower in the future. e. Interest rate (price) risk is higher on short-term bonds, but reinvestment rate risk is higher on long-term bonds
a. Assuming the bonds will be rated AA, what will the price of the AA-rated bonds be? b. How much total principal amount of these bonds must HMK issue to raise $9million today, assuming the bonds are AA rated? (Because HMK cannot issue a fraction of a bond, assume all fractions are rounded to the nearest whole number.) c. What must the rating of the bonds be for them to sell at par? d. Suppose that when the bonds are issued, the price of each bond is $970.43. What is the likely rating of the bonds?Are they junk bonds? Note: Assume annual compounding.
Which of the following statements is right? Group of answer choices a)Ignoring the liquidity risk, the 10-treasry bond should have the same interest rate as the 10-year corporate bond. b)Ignoring the default risk, the 10-treasry bond should have the same interest rate as the 10-year corporate bond. c)The return of the 10-year treasury bond must be less than that of the 10-year corporate bond d)The return of the 10-year treasury bond must be greater than that of the 10-year corporate bond
If 10-year Treasury bonds have a yield of 4.3%, 10-year corporate bonds yield 6.7%, the maturity risk premium on all 10-year bonds is same, and corporate bonds have a 0.3% liquidity premium vs. a zero liquidity premium for T-bonds,what is the default risk premium on the corporate bond?
If 15-year T-bonds have a yield of 6%, 15-year corporate bonds yield 8%, the maturity risk premium on all 15-year bonds is 1%, and corporate bonds have a 0.5% liquidity premium versus a zero liquidity premium for T-bonds, what is the default risk premium on the corporate bond? (hint: think about what cause the difference in the yields of the 15-year T-bonds and the 15-Year corporate bonds) A. 1.0% B. 0.5% C. 2.0% D. 0.6% E. 1.5%
What is the default risk premium on Aaa corporate bond, if the interest rate on that bond is 3.25 percent and the interest rate on a Treasury security is 1.16 percent?
Bond X has a 10% annual coupon, while Bond Y has a 8% annual coupon. Both bonds have the same maturity, a face value of $1,000, an 9% yield to maturity, and are noncallable. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? options: a) Bond X's capital gains yield is greater than Bond Y's capital gains yield. b) Bond X trades at a discount, whereas Bond Y trades at a premium. c) If the yield to maturity for both bonds immediately decreases to 7%, Bond X's bond will have a larger percentage increase in value. d) Bond X's current yield is greater than that of Bond Y. e) If the yield to maturity for both bonds remains at 9%, Bond X's price one year from now will be higher than it is today, but Bond Y's price one year from now will be lower than it is today.
