- What do you have to do to the interest rate and years of maturity if a bond pricing problem tells you that interest is compounded quarterly?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_forwardA bond with a face value of $1,000 has 10 years until maturity, carries a coupon rate of 9%, and sells for $1,100. Interest is paid annually. Assume a face value of $1,000 and annual coupon payments.a) If the bond has a yield to maturity of 9% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time?b) What will be the rate of return on the bond? c) If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the real rate of return on the bond? Assume annual interest payments.arrow_forward
- Consider a zero coupon bond that promises to pay $100 each year for the next three years. Suppose we observe the set of zero coupon bond prices and its yields as below a) What is the price of this zero coupon bond? What is its yield to maturity? b) If the observe yield on two-year zero coupon bonds falls to 6% per year, but the other rates remain unchanged. What is your estimation of the value of the three-year annuity paying $100 per year? What is its yield to maturity?arrow_forwardA bond has 10 years until maturity, carries a coupon rate of 9%, and sells for $1,100. Interest is paid annually. a) If the bond has a yeild to maturity of 9% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? b) What will be the rate of return on the bond? c) Now assume that interest is paid semannually. What will be the rate of return on the bond? d) If the inflation rate during the year is 3% what is the real rate of return on the bond?arrow_forwardBond A has an 8% annual coupon, Bond B has a 10% annual coupon, and Bond C has a 12% annual coupon. Each of the bonds has a maturity of 10 years and a yeild to maturity of 10%. If the market interest rates remain at 10% waht will happen to the bonds' prices one year from now? What will happen to the bonds' price if the market interest rates increase? Explain.arrow_forward

Currently such T-notes are yielding 4.25% per annum. a) what amount will peter pay for the T-note? b) What is the annual rate of return (HPY) for peter? c) what is the current yield of maturity (YTM) for the security?arrow_forwardA bond with a face value of $1,000 has 10 years until maturity, carries a coupon rate of 9%, and sells for $1,100. Interest is paid annually. Assume a face value of $1,000 and annual coupon payments. 1) If the bond has a yield to maturity of 9% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? 2) What will be the rate of return on the bond? 3) If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the real rate of return on the bond? Please show workings with formulas.arrow_forwardConsider a bond paying a coupon rate of 10% per year semi-annually when the market interest rate is only 4% per half-year. The bond has three years until maturity. This initial payment is $1000. A: What is find the bond’s price today and 6 months time after the next coupon is paid?

- If a bond is issued at the price of $10,000 per contract and promises a 5.7% interest every year, the contract will be redeemed by the issuer at a discount after 8 years for $9,200. If the market is offering a return of 4.8% for similar risk securities, what would be the price you are ready to offer for this bond?arrow_forwardAn investor has two bonds in his portfolio that have a face value of $1,000 and pay a 10% annual coupon. Bond L matures in 19 years, while Bond S matures in 1 year. Assume that only one more interest payment is to be made on Bond S at its maturity and that 19 more payments are to be made on Bond L. What will the value of the Bond L be if the going interest rate is 4%? Round your answer to the nearest cent.$ What will the value of the Bond S be if the going interest rate is 4%? Round your answer to the nearest cent.$ What will the value of the Bond L be if the going interest rate is 10%?

Bond L matures in 10 years, while Bond S matures in 1 year. What will the value of the Bond L be if the going interest rate is 6%, 7%, and 12%? Assume that only one more interest payment is to be made on Bond S at its maturity and that 10 more payments are to be made on Bond L. Round your answers to the nearest cent. 6% 7% 12% Bond L $ $ $ Bond S $ $ $ Why does the longer-term bond’s price vary more than the price of the shorter-term bond when interest rates change? Long-term bonds have lower reinvestment rate risk than do short-term bonds. The change in price due to a change in the required rate of return increases as a bond's maturity decreases. Long-term bonds have greater interest rate risk than do short-term bonds. The change in price due to a change in the required rate of return decreases as a bond's maturity increases.
