- If the pure expectations theory of the term structure is correct, which of the following statements would be CORRECT? a. If a 1-year Treasury bill has a yield to maturity of 7% and a 2-year Treasury bill has a yield to maturity of 8%, this would imply the market believes that 1-year rates will be 7.5% one year from now. b. The yield on a 5-year corporate bond should always exceed the yield on a 3-year Treasury bond. c. Interest rate (price) risk is higher on long-term bonds, but reinvestment rate risk is higher on short-term bonds. d. An upward-sloping yield curve would imply that interest rates are expected to be lower in the future. e.

Both bonds have the same maturity, a face value of $1,000, an 9% yield to maturity, and are noncallable. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? options: a) Bond X's capital gains yield is greater than Bond Y's capital gains yield. b) Bond X trades at a discount, whereas Bond Y trades at a premium. c) If the yield to maturity for both bonds immediately decreases to 7%, Bond X's bond will have a larger percentage increase in value. d) Bond X's current yield is greater than that of Bond Y. e) If the yield to maturity for both bonds remains at 9%, Bond X's price one year from now will be higher than it is today, but Bond Y's price one year from now will be lower than it is today.arrow_forwardAssume the following facts: a 10-yr bond, callable at 980 after 2 yrs, face value of 1000, priced to sell at 11% required rate of return, and pays a coupon of 10% (paid semiannually). The bond is valued today at 940.25.

- The method used to value a default-free zero coupon bonds (such as T-bills) requires that the interest is deducted from the face value of the bonds in advance. a.rediscounting b.market price c.forward price d.discount interestarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is correct? Group of answer choices The actual capital gains yield for a one-year holding period on a bond can never be greater than the current yield on the bond. All of these statements are false. The price of a coupon bond is determined primarily by the number of years to maturity. The discount or premium on a bond can be expressed as the difference between the coupon payment on an old bond which originally sold at par and the coupon payment on a new bond, selling at par, where the difference in payments is discounted at the new market rate. On a coupon paying bond, the final interest payment is made one period before maturity and then, at maturity, the bond's face value is paid as the final payment.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements correctly describes the relationship between a long-term bond’s market value, its coupon rate and the relevant yield to maturity? A. When bonds are initially issued, the coupon rate is generally set equal to the required yield to maturity so that the company can issue the bonds at their face value. B. If at any point in the bond’s life its coupon rate is less than the market determined yield to maturity, its market value at that time will be less than the face value of the bond. C. More than one of the other statements are correct D. A government bond with a fixed coupon rate may be valued below its’ face value even though the promised cash flows are effectively riskless. E. None of the other statements are correct Is "B" is the correct answer?arrow_forward
