a)
To determine: The dollar return from the bond.
Introduction:
Total return refers to the total income from an investment. The total income includes the periodic incomes and the increase or decrease in the value of an asset.
Dollar return refers to the return stated in dollar values. Percentage return refers to the returns stated as a percentage. Percentage returns determine the returns per one dollar of investment or per $100 worth of investment.
b)
To determine: The nominal
Introduction:
The nominal rate of return refers to the rate of return on an investment before adjusting the inflation rate.
c)
To determine: The real rate of return from the bond.
Introduction:
The real rate of return refers to the rate of return on an investment after adjusting the inflation rate. The rate at which the inflation increases is the inflation rate. The Fisher effect helps to establish a relationship between the nominal rate of return, inflation, and the real rate of return.

- 8.10 Calculate the required rate of return for Mudd Enterprises assuming that investors expect a 4.5% rate of inflation in the future. The real risk-free rate is 3.0%, and the market risk premium is 5.5%. Mudd has a beta of 1.7, and its realized rate of return has averaged 8.0% over the past 5 years. Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forward5. A coupon bond has a $1000 face value and a 12% coupon rate. It is currently sold at 5940 and is expe cted to be sold at 5960 next year. What is the yield to maturity and the expected rate of capital gain? lf the inflation rate is 4%, what is the real interest rate on this bond? 6. Suppose the Fed is about to have a new chair who thinks the current rate of money growth is too fast. Discuss all the possible scenarios for what will happen to interest ratesarrow_forwardCalculating Returns Suppose you bought a 6 percent coupon bond one year ago for $1,040. The bond sells for $1,063 today. • Assuming a $1,000 face value, what was your total dollar return on this investment over the past year? • What was your total nominal rate of return on this investment over the past year? • If the inflation rate last year was 3 percent, what was your total real rate of return on this investment?arrow_forward
- 1. Briefly explain the following: a. You want to sell your bond that has a par value of ₱100,000 plus a 5 percent annual coupon rate thatwill mature after one year. The prevailing interest rate is 8%. Will you be able to sell your bond for ₱100,000 or higher? Briefly explain your answer.b. Is it possible for a country to have a twin deficit (a budget deficit and trade deficit) at the same time? How will this affect the economy? Briefly explain the benefits and dangers of a twin deficit.c. Which is better for the receiving country, FDI or FPI? Briefly explain your answer.arrow_forward15) a) A pension fund must pay out $1 million next year, $2 million the following year, and then $3 million the year after that. If the discount rate is 8%, what is the duration of this set of payments? b) You own a bond that has a duration of 6 years. Interest rates are currently 7%, but you believe the Fed is about to increase interest rates by 25 basis points. Your predicted price change on this bond is ________. c) You have a 25-year maturity, 10% coupon, 10% yield bond with a duration of 10 years and a convexity of 135.5. If the interest rate were to fall 125 basis points, your predicted new price for the bond (including convexity) is ________.arrow_forwardSuppose most investors expect the inflation rate to be 5% next year, 6% the following year, and 7% thereafter. The real risk-free rate is 3.5%. The maturity risk premium is zero for bonds that mature in 1 year or less, 0.3% for 2-year bonds, and then the MRP increases by 0.3% per year thereafter for 20 years, after which it is stable.

The maturity risk premium is zero for bonds that mature in 1 year or less, 0.3% for 2-year bonds, and then the MRP increases by 0.3% per year thereafter for 20 years, after which it is stable. What is the interest rate on 1-year, 9-year, and 18-year Treasury bonds? Percentage answers should be rounded to 2 decimal places (0.12%) while decimal answers are to be rounded to 4 decimal places (0.1234).arrow_forwardUse the Fisher Effect/equation. A $1,000 Par value, 3% Coupon bond with 10 years to maturity is trading for $1,000 Assume that currently there is no inflation and investors require a Real Rate of Return of 3% (which they are getting) If Inflation spikes instantly from zero to 2%, what will be the new price of the bond? All cash flows occur at the end of the period.arrow_forwardINTEREST RATE DETERMINATION AND YIELD CURVES a. What effect would each of the following events likely have on the level of nominal interest rates? 1. Households dramatically increase their savings rate. 2. Corporations increase their demand for funds following an increase in investment opportunities. 3. The government runs a larger-than-expected budget deficit. 4. There is an increase in expected inflation. b. Suppose you are considering two possible investment opportunities: a 12-year Treasury bond and a 7-year, A-rated corporate bond. The current real risk-free rate is 4%; and inflation is expected to be 2% for the next 2 years, 3% for the following 4 years, and 4% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated by this formula: MRP = 0 02(t 1)%. The liquidity premium (LP) for the corporate bond is estimated to be 0.3%. You may determine the default risk premium (DRP), given the companys bond rating, from the table below. Remember to subtract the bonds LP from the corporate spread given in the table to arrive at the bonds DRP. What yield would you predict for each of these two investments? Rate Corporate Bond Yield Spread = DRP + LP U.S. Treasury 0.83% ---- AAA corporate 0.93 0.10% AA corporate 1.29 0.46 A corporate 1.67 0.84 c. Given the following Treasury bond yield information, construct a graph of the yield curve. Maturity Yield 1 year 5.37% 2 years 5.47 3 years 5.65 4 years 5.71 5 years 5.64 10 years 5.75 20 years 6.33 30 years 5.94 d. Based on the information about the corporate bond provided in part b, calculate yields and then construct a new yield curve graph that shows both the Treasury and the corporate bonds. e. Which part of the yield curve (the left side or right side) is likely to be most volatile over time? f. Using the Treasury yield information in part c, calculate the following rates using geometric averages: 1. The 1-year rate 1 year from now 2. The 5-year rate 5 years from now 3. The 10-year rate 10 years from now 4. The 10-year rate 20 years from nowarrow_forward
