Suppose a 10-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 is currently selling for 1,135.90, producing a nominal yield to maturity of 8%. 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?
You read in The Wall Street Journal that 30-day T-bills are currently yielding 4.7%. Your brother-in-law, a broker at Safe and Sound Securities, has given you the following estimates of current interest rate premiums: Inflation premium = 3.50% Liquidity premium = 1.0% Maturity risk premium = 1.85% Default risk premium = 2.60% On the basis of these data, what is the real risk-free rate of return? Round your answer to two decimal places.
You read in The Wall Street Journal that 60-day T-bills are currently yielding 9.5%. Your brother-in-law, a broker, has given you the following estimates of current interest rate premiums: Inflation premium = 6.5%. Liquidity premium = 1.15%. Maturity risk premium = 2.50%. Default risk premium = 2.22%. On the basis of these data, the real risk-free rate of return is?
The Wall Street Journal reports that the rate on 3-year Treasury securities is 7.10 percent, and the 6-year Treasury rate is 7.35 percent. From discussions with your broker, you have determined that expected inflation premium is 2.60 percent next year, 2.85 percent in Year 2, and 3.05 percent in Year 3 and beyond. Further, you expect that real interest rates will be 3.55 percent annually for the foreseeable future. What is the maturity risk premium on the 6-year Treasury security?
A fixed income analyst has made the following assessments: The risk-free rate is expected to remain at 2.5% for the next 10 year. Inflation is expected to be 3% this year, 4% next year and 5% a year thereafter. The maturity risk-premium is 0.1% (t-1), where t= maturity of the bond. A 5-year corporate bond currently yield 8.5 percent. What will be the yield on the bond one year from now, if the above assessments are correct, and the bond's default premium and liquidity premium remain unchanged?
problems should be solved by using a financial calculator or MS excel spreadsheet. Accordingly, you must show the values of all relevant time valu of money variables Columbus Ltd.'s outstanding bonds have a $1,000 par value, and they mature in 30 years. Their nominal yield to maturity is 10%, they pay interest quarterlly, and they sell at a price of $980. What is the bond's annual coupon interest rate?
The real risk-free rate is 2.70%, inflation is expected to be 3.45% this year, and the maturity risk premium is zero. Ignoring any cross-product terms, i.e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average, what is the equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury bond? Please explain process and show calculations
Suppose the real risk-free rate is 2.80%, the average future inflation rate is 2.30%, a maturity premium of 0.25% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.25%(t), where t is the number of years to maturity. Suppose also that a liquidity premium of 0.50% and a default risk premium of 2.50% applies to A-rated corporate bonds. What is the difference in the yields on a 5-year A-rated corporate bond and on a 10-year Treasury bond? Here we assume that the pure expectations theory is NOT valid, and disregard any cross-product terms, i.e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average. a. 4.25 p.p. b. 2.25 p.p. c. 4.19 p.p. d. 3.00 p.p. e. 1.75 p.p.

For each of the following situations, write the equation needed to calculatethe yield to maturity, denoted by i. You do not solve for i; just write the appropriateequations. A simple loan for $350,000 that requires a payment of $475,000 in fiveyears.A discount bond (zero-coupon bond) with a price of $720 that has aface value of $1,000 and matures in five years.A corporate bond with a face value of $1,000, a price of $950, a couponrate of 8% paid annually, and a maturity of six years.A student loan of $40,000 that requires payments of $2,750 per yearfor 20 years. The payments start in three years.
Suppose you and most other investors expect the inflation rate to be 7%next year, to fall to 5% during the following year, and then to remain ata rate of 3% thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate, r*, will remainat 2% and that maturity risk premiums on Treasury securities rise fromzero on very short-term securities (those that mature in a few days) to alevel of 0.2 percentage points for 1-year securities. Furthermore, maturityrisk premiums increase 0.2 percentage points for each year to maturity, upto a limit of 1.0 percentage point on 5-year or longer-term T-notes andT-bonds.a. Calculate the interest rate on 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 10-, and 20-year Treasurysecurities, and plot the yield curve.
An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 2.1% in Year 1, 2.7% in Year 2, and 3.65% each year thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate is 1.95% and that this rate will remain constant. Three-year Treasury securities yield 5.20%, while 5-year Treasury securities yield 6.00%. What is the difference in the maturity risk premiums (MRPs) on the two securities; that is, what is ?
Suppose that you buy a TIPS (inflation-indexed) bond with a 1-year maturity and a coupon of 2% paid annually. Assume you buy the bond at its face value of $1,000, and the inflation rate is 10%. a. What will be your cash flow at the end of the year? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. What will be your real return? c. What will be your nominal return? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
