Netflix is selling for $100 a share. A Netflix call option with one month until expiration and an exercise price of $105 sells for $2 while a put with the same strike and expiration sells for $6.94. What is the market price of a zero-coupon bond with face value $105 and 1-month maturity? What is the risk-free interest rate expressed as an effective annual yield?
Assume that a 5-month forward contract on a zero-coupon bond with marketface value of Php5,000 and is currently trading at Php4,777. Suppose thatthe annual risk-free interest rate is 6.28%, How much is the arbitrage profit?
Taussig Corp.'s bonds currently sell for P1,150. They have a 6.75% annual coupon rate and a 15-year maturity, but they can be called in 6 years at P1,067.50. Assume that no costs other than the call premium would be incurred to call and refund the bonds, and also assume that the yield curve is horizontal, with rates expected to remain at current levels on into the future. Under these conditions, what rate of return should an investor expect to earn if he or she purchases these bonds, the YTC or the YTM?

- Yield 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 B is a 2-year maturity coupon-paying bond with annual coupon of 10 and face value of 110. The yield curve is flat at 4% per year. Consider a forward contract F on one bond B. If the forward F's maturity is 15 months from now, what is the no-arbitrage forward price F0, 15 months? Enter your answer with 2 decimal places after the point.arrow_forwardLast year Carson Industries issued a 10-year, 13% semiannual coupon bondat its par value of $1,000. Currently, the bond can be called in 6 years at a price of $1,065and it sells for $1,200.a. What are the bond’s nominal yield to maturity and its nominal yield to call? Would aninvestor be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC?b. What is the current yield? Is this yield affected by whether the bond is likely to be called?(Hint: Refer to footnote 6 for the definition of the current yield and to Table 7.1.)c. What is the expected capital gains (or loss) yield for the coming year? Is this yielddependent on whether the bond is expected to be called? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Taussig Corp.'s bonds currently sell for $960. They have a 6.35% annual coupon rate and a 20-year maturity, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,067.50. Assume that no costs other than the call premium would be incurred to call and refund the bonds, and also assume that the yield curve is horizontal, with rates expected to remain at current levels on into the future. Under these conditions, what rate of return should an investor expect to earn if he or she purchases these bonds? a. 7.19% b. 3.36% c. 4.40% d. 3.59% e. 6.72%arrow_forwardGilligan Co.'s bonds currently sell for $1,150. They have a 6.60% annual coupon rate and a 14-year maturity, a $1,000 par value, and are callable in 7 years at $1,066.00. Assume that no costs other than the call premium would be incurred to call and refund the bonds, and also assume that the yield curve is horizontal, with rates expected to remain at current levels on into the future. Under these conditions, what rate of return should an investor expect to earn if he or she purchases these bonds, the YTC or the YTM? Group of answer choices 4.65% 5.08% 4.50% 4.84% 4.99%arrow_forwardYou can enter into a forward contract for a bond with a maturity in one year months that pays a coupon payment of $25 every six months. The bond has a forward price of $930. The current zero coupon rate for 6 months is 4% annually and the zero coupon risk free rate for one year is 5% annually (assume continuous compounding). The current price of the bond is $943. Use the equilibrium forward price equation (F=Sert) adjusted for both coupon payments to see if an arbitrage opportunity exists. If arbitrage is possible, explain the arbitrage opportunity that exists and show how the profit can be earned – make sure to explain every step in detail in realizing the profit and establishing the arbitrage. If arbitrage is not possible, show how you know it is not possible. ANSWER IN TYPING OTHER WISE DOWNVOTE YOUarrow_forward
