a. What is the price (expressed as a percentage of the face value) of a 1-year, zero-coupon corporate bond with a AAA rating and a face value of $1,000?
b. What is the credit spread on AAA-rated corporate bonds?
c. What is the credit spread on B-rated corporate bonds?
d. How does the credit spread change with the bond rating? Why?
Note: Assume annual compounding.
A plot of the yields on bonds with different terms to maturity but the same risk, liquidity, and tax
considerations is known as
O A. a yield curve.
B. a risk-structure curve.
OC. a term-structure curve.
5-
O D. an interest-rate curve.
Suppose people expect the interest rate on one-year bonds for each of the next four years to be 3%,
6%, 5%, and 6%. If the expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates is correct, then the
implied interest rate on bonds with a maturity of four years is
nearest whole number).
