P6–23 Bond valuation and yield to maturity Mark Goldsmith’s broker has shown him two bonds issued by different companies. Each has a maturity of 5 years, a par value of $1,000, and a yield to maturity of 7.5%. The first bond is issued by Crabbe Waste Disposal Corporation and has a coupon rate of 6.324% paid annually. The second bond, issued by Malfoy Enterprises, has a coupon rate of 8.8% paid annually.
A. Calculate the selling price for each bond.
B. Mark has $20,000 to invest. If he wants to invest only in bonds issued by Crabbe Waste Disposal, how many of those bonds could he buy? What if he wants to invest only in bonds issued by Malfoy Enterprises? Round your answers to the nearest integer.
C. What is the total interest income that Mark could earn each year if he invested only in Crabbe bonds? How much interest would he earn each year if he invested only in Malfoy bonds?
Q.2:A 16% callable bond, having 19 years to maturity has a market price of $1400. What value you would place on this bond if the market required return is 18%.

Give reasons to justify your answer.
A 9.50% coupon Hess Corp bond yields 1.47% and matures on April 21, 2023. A trade settles on July 22, 2018. Coupon interest is paid April 21 and October 21 of each year. What is the interest that the buyer must pay to the seller in addition to the offer price?

- Problem 3 Linz Styles Coupon Rate (RWJJ Ch. 20, Q5) Linz Stylers intends to issue perpetual callable bonds with annual coupon payments. The bonds are callable at $1,250. One-year interest rates are 11 percent. There is a 60 percent probability that long-term interest rates one year from today will be 13 percent, and a 40 percent probability that long-term interest rates will be 9 percent or even lower.
