A
To calculate: Predicted price change of the bond in 10 years of duration.
Introduction: The interest rates and price are inversely proportional to each other. If one quantity will increase other will automatically decreases. As yield to maturity is increased by 1 %, the price will hence decrease.
B
To calculate: The change in price due to change in convexity of the bond.
Introduction: Convexity is a curve which establishes a relationship between bond price and bond yield. This is also used to manage the risk. Positive convexity means rise in duration but fall in yields.
C
To calculate: Modified duration of the bond.
Introduction: The modified duration is defined as a change in security with respect to the change in the interest rates. There is an inverse relationship between price of bond and interest rates.
D
To select: Effect on the duration of bond when interest rates decreases.
Introduction : Duration of the bond is dependent on the price of the bond and prices are inversely related to the interest rates. As interest rates fall down indirectly the duration is going upside.
E
To select: Indentify the bond type which is equal in all aspects except YTM.
Introduction : The substitution swap is a type of bond which consist of all the properties of the genetic bond but differ from one property. Here the substitution swap is differ from the YTM value and other values are same.
F
To select: The bond which has a longest duration.
Introduction : The duration of bond is decided by the value of coupon rate and maturity period of the bond. Among all the longest duration bond has the low coupon rate and highest maturity period of bond. The maturity period is 15 years and 6% is coupon rate.

- Bond Yields and Rates of Return A 10-year, 12% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 may be called in 4 years at a call price of 1,060. The bond sells for 1,100. (Assume that the bond has just been issued.) a. What is the bonds yield to maturity? b. What is the bonds current yield? c. What is the bonds capital gain or loss yield? d. What is the bonds yield to call?arrow_forwardSuppose a 10-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 is currently selling for 1,135.90, producing a nominal yield to maturity of 8%. However, the bond can be called after 5 years for a price of 1,050. (1) What is the bonds nominal yield to call (YTC)? (2) If you bought this bond, do you think you would be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC? Why?arrow_forwardCurrent Yield for Annual Payments Heath Food Corporations bonds have 7 years remaining to maturity. The bonds have a face value of 1,000 and a yield to maturity of 8%. They pay interest annually and have a 9% coupon rate. What is their current yield?arrow_forward
- Current Yield with Semiannual Payments A bond that matures in 7 years sells for $1,020. The bond has a face value of $1,000 and a yield to maturity of 10.5883%. The bond pays coupons semiannually. What is the bond’s current yield?arrow_forwardYield to Maturity and Yield to Call Arnot International’s bonds have a current market price of $1,200. The bonds have an 11% annual coupon payment, a $1,000 face value, and 10 years left until maturity. The bonds may be called in 5 years at 109% of face value (call price = $1,090). What is the yield to maturity? What is the yield to call if they are called in 5 years? Which yield might investors expect to earn on these bonds, and why? The bond’s indenture indicates that the call provision gives the firm the right to call them at the end of each year beginning in Year 5. In Year 5, they may be called at 109% of face value, but in each of the next 4 years the call percentage will decline by 1 percentage point. Thus, in Year 6 they may be called at 108% of face value, in Year 7 they may be called at 107% of face value, and so on. If the yield curve is horizontal and interest rates remain at their current level, when is the latest that investors might expect the firm to call the bonds?arrow_forwardBond Value as Maturity Approaches An investor has two bonds in his portfolio. Each bond matures in 4 years, has a face value of 1,000, and has a yield to maturity equal to 9.6%. One bond, Bond C, pays an annual coupon of 10%; the other bond, Bond Z, is a zero coupon bond. Assuming that the yield to maturity of each bond remains at 9.6% over the next 4 years, what will be the price of each of the bonds at the following time periods?
