Q3)
(For the first 20 bond problems, assume interest payments are on an annual basis.)
Bond value (LO10-3) The Lone Star Company has $1,000 par value bonds outstanding at 10 percent interest. The bonds will mature in 20 years. Compute the current price of the bonds if the present yield to maturity is
6 percent.
9 percent.
How much would you pay for a perpetual bond that pays an annual coupon of $200 per year and yields on competing instruments are 5%?
You would pay $.
(Round your response to the nearest penny.)
Part 2
If competing yields are expected to change to 8%, what is the current yield on this same bond assuming that you paid $4,000?
The current yield is %.(Round your response to the nearest integer.)
Part 3
If you sell this bond in exactly one year, having paid $4,000, and received exactly one coupon payment, what is your total return if competing yields are 8%?
Your total return is %.

- Suppose that the interest rate at which Joanne can borrow and lend is 10 percent per year, but she can earn $22,000 with a high school degree. Her tuition and books at college cost $6,000 and her living expenses are $15,000 per year. Savings are deposited at the end of the year they are earned and receive (compound) interest at the end of each subsequent year. Similarly, the loans are taken out at the end of the year in which they are needed, and interest does not accrue until the end of the subsequent year.
