However, the bond can be called after 5 years for a price of 1,050. (1) What is the bonds nominal yield to call (YTC)? (2) If you bought this bond, do you think you would be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC? Why?
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.)

For example, assume Oliver wants to earn a return of 10.50% and is offered the opportunity to purchase a $1,000 par value bond that pays a 8.75% coupon rate (distributed semiannually) with three years remaining to maturity. The following formula can be used to compute the bond’s intrinsic value: Intrinsic ValueIntrinsic Value = = A(1+C)1+A(1+C)2+A(1+C)3+A(1+C)4+A(1+C)5+A(1+C)6+B(1+C)6A1+C1+A1+C2+A1+C3+A1+C4+A1+C5+A1+C6+B1+C6 Complete the following table by identifying the appropriate corresponding variables used in the equation.
