Create an essay using the following information:
Assume you are evaluating whether to purchase the following $1,000 face value bonds:
Co. X bond with a 6% coupon rate that matures in 9 years.
Co. Y bond with an 11% coupon rate that matures in 7 years.
Also, you may wish to review https://t.ly/wJqNM and https://t.ly/2EX2k about corporate junk (junk bonds). Given the scenario and information about junk bonds, address the following:
Value these bonds assuming a market rate on similar risk bonds is 7% and interest is paid annually.
Value these bonds assuming a market rate on similar risk bonds is 7% and interest is paid semi-annually.
Value these bonds assuming a market rate on similar risk bonds is 12% and interest is paid annually.
Assuming both bonds were issued at the same time, why would the Co. Y bond pay a higher coupon rate?
Suppose that you are interested in purchasing a bond issued by the VPI Corporation. The bond is quoted in the Wall
Street Journal as selling for 89.665. How much will you pay for the bond if you purchase it at the quoted price?
Assuming you hold the bond until maturity, how much will you receive at that time?
If you purchase the bond at the quoted price, you would pay $. (Round to the nearest cent)
Assuming you hold the bond until maturity, you would receive $ (Round to the nearest dollar)
