You are an investment manager evaluating two corporate bonds, each with a maturity value of $100,000. Each bond matures in exactly 10 years and each bond has a yield-to-maturity (YTM) of 5%. Bond 1 pays a coupon of 8% and Bond 2 pays a coupon of 3%.
Without doing any math, which bond trades at a higher price? Which bond is more sensitive to changes in interest rates? If both bonds have the identical maturity date and YTM, then why do they trade at different prices? Is this a violation of The Law of One Price ? If you buy Bond 1, what is the NPV of the cash flows?
The treasurer of a large corporation wants to invest $22 million in excess short-term cash in a particular money market investment. The prospectus quotes the instrument at a true yield of 3.33 percent; that is, the EAR for this investment is 3.33 percent. However, the treasurer wants to know the money market yield on this instrument to make it comparable to the T-bills and CDs she has already bought. If the term of the instrument is 78 days, what are the bond equivalent and discount yields on this investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 3 decimal places.)

- 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_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%.
