Change in the fixed rate note price
Introduction:
Fixed rate bond is one of the kind of debt instrument which comprises of fixed interest (coupon) payment in comparison to floating rate bond. Fixed rate note is generally issued for a long period of time and has a predetermined rate of interest.

Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the Fisher Effect?
A. The Fisher Effect illustrates the inverse relationship between inflation and nominal interest rates.
B. Nominal interest rates are directly related to expected inflation in part because borrowers want to protect their purchasing power reward from being wiped out by lower inflation.
C. If prices rise by 7% and your salary increases by 9%, you will experience a gain of purchasing power
D. Ceteris paribus, the higher the inflation, the higher the real interest rate

- As of November 14, 2023, Treasury yields were as follows: 1-year 5.24% 2-year 4.80% 3-year 4.56% 5-year 4.42% 10-year 4.44% 30-year 4.61% Use these yields to answer the questions below. a. What do the rates above imply about the shape of the yield curve? Explain. b. Using the pure expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates, carefully explain how the general shape of the yield curve described in (a) could come about.arrow_forwardSome characteristics of the determinants of nominal interest rates are listed as follows. Identify the components (determinants) and the symbols associated with each characteristic: Characteristic Component Symbol This is the premium added to the real risk-free rate to compensate for a decrease in purchasing power over time. It is based on the bond’s rating; the higher the rating, the lower the premium added, thus lowering the interest rate. It is calculated by adding the inflation premium to r*. It changes over time, depending on the expected rate of return on productive assets exchanged among market participants and people’s time preferences for consumption. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, and as interest rates fall, bond prices rise. Because interest rate changes are uncertain, this premium is added as a compensation for this uncertainty. This premium is added when a security lacks marketability,…arrow_forwardSuppose we observe the 3-year Treasury security rate (1R3) to be 8 percent, the expected 1-year rate next year—E(2r1)—to be 4 percent, and the expected one-year rate the following year—E(3r1)—to be 6 percent.

- Assume inflation is 2.60% and the nominal (annual) interest rate is 6.35%. If the interest rate is held constant, but inflation rises to 5.25%, does it cost more or less in real terms to borrow money than when the inflation rate was 2.60%? Explain your answer and make sure to include your real interest rates in both situation.arrow_forwardSuppose we observe the following rates: 1R1 = 0.75%, 1R2 = 1.20%, and E(2r1) = 0.907%. If the liquidity premium theory of the term structure of interest rates holds, what is the liquidity premium for year 2, L2? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)arrow_forwardSuppose we observe the three-year Treasury security rate (1R3) to be 4.9 percent, the expected one-year rate next year-E(21)-to be 5.4 percent, and the expected one-year rate the following year-E(301)-to be 6.4 percent.

- The Fisher equation tells us that the real interest rate approximately equals the nominal rate minus the inflation rate. Suppose the inflation rate increases from 3% to 5%. Does the Fisher equation imply that this increase will result in a fall in the real rate of interest? Explain.arrow_forwardCan you please help me with this? A commercial bill with a face value of $50 000 has a current price of $49,291. This bill is trading at a yield of 7.5% which necessarily implies a time to maturity of how many days? (Just give the number) What would be the most certain formula to be used to solve this problem and why is it that formula? Also, are commercial bills subject to 360-day interest payment? How can the formula be used to solve the problem?arrow_forwardSuppose that the nominal rate of interest is 5% and the expectedrate of inflation is 2%. Whats is the expected real rate ofinterest according to Fisher? Calculate the after-tax expected realrate of assuming a 30% marginal tax rate.

Which of the following statements is correct?(a) The amount of actual dollars is overstated.(b) The amount of actual dollars is understated.(c) The amount of actual dollars is about right.(d) Sufficient information is not available to make a comparison.arrow_forwardShinzo Kamada, Credit Suisse (Tokyo), observes that the ¥/$ spot rate has been holding steady, and both dollar and yen interest rates have remained relatively fixed over the past week. Shinzo wonders if he should try an uncovered interest arbitrage (UIA) and thereby save the cost of forward cover. Many of Shinzo's research associates and their computer models are predicting the spot rate to remain close to ¥108.00/$ for the coming 180 days. Using the data as given below, analyze the UIA potential Arbitrage funds available $6,000,000 Spot rate (¥/$) 108.70 180-day forward rate (¥/$) 107.80 Expected spot rate in 180 days (¥/$) 108.00 180-day U.S. dollar interest rate 4.800% 180-day Japanese yen interest rate 3.400%arrow_forward
