QUESTION 18
A $1,000 face value corporate bond is purchased at the market price of $850 on January 1, 2021. It pays 5 percent interest
annually on December 31 and will mature on December 31, 2030. Assume the bond's interest payments are reinvested at a
rate of 4 percent per annum.
Submit your final answers below, to 2 decimal places
What is the future value of the reinvested coupons (there are 10 years of coupons received between 2021 and 2030)?
$
Given the purchase price of $850, the maturity value of $1,000 added to the future value of the reinvested coupons,
what is the bond's average annual compound return? 6.53
Repeat this calculation assuming bond interest is reinvested at 8 percent per annum. What is the bond's average
annual compound return? 7.33
Problem 3: Callable Bonds: On Jan. 1, 2021, Z Corporation paid P3,300,000 for a 9%, P3,000,000 face value bond. The bond pays interest every June 30 and Dec. 31, and is due on Dec. 31, 2028. However, Z foresees that the issuer will likely call the bonds on Dec. 31, 2026 for a call price of 103. As a financial analyst, you deem it appropriate to use a risk-adjusted return of 11% for Z’s investment. Based on your analysis, how much did Z overpay or (underpay) for its investment?
