PICK ONE: Explain why
YOU: Suppose that 6 months after you purchase the bond, the market rate for interest on this type of bond falls to 7.00%. This will cause the (coupon / market price / par value) to (fall / rise). From the issuer’s perspective, the lower interest rate means that he or she would be (worse / better) off issuing new bonds at this lower rate than continuing to pay you 9%.
1)Your broker offers to sell for $1,157 a AAA-rated bond with a coupon rate of 7 percent and a maturity of six years. Given that the interest rate on comparable debt is 4 percent, calculate the bond's price. Assume that the bond pays interest annually. Use Appendix B and Appendix D to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
2)Is your broker fairly pricing the bond?
3)the bond should or should not be purchased?
Lantech investor is deciding between two bonds: Bond A pay $72 annual interest and has a market value of $925. It has 10 years to maturity. Bond B pays $62 annual interest and has a market value of $910. It has two years to maturity. Par value of the bonds is $1,000.
A. What is the current yield on both bonds?
B. Which bond should be chosen and why?
C. A drawback of current yield is that is doesn't consider the total life of the bond. E.g. Yield to maturity on Bond A is 8.33 percent. What is the yield to maturity on Bond B?
D. Is your answer changed from parts B and C based on which bond should be chosen?
