Suppose that on March 3, 2017, ACME Inc. issued 10-year coupon bonds with a face value of $100,000 and coupon payments of 5,000. (the coupons are paid each year on March 3, starting with the year 2018). Suppose that on March 3, 2017, ACME bonds sold for $90,000.
2. What can you say about the value of the the yield to maturity paid by ACME bonds, without calculating it?
In February 2015 Treasury 3 5/8s of 2035 offered a semiannually compounded yield to maturity of 2.98%. Recognizing that coupons are paid semiannually, calculate the bond's price. Assume face value is $1,000.
Treasury notes and bonds. Use the information in the following table
Type Issue Date Price Coupon Rate Maturity Date YTM Current Yield Rating
Note Feb 2005 6.50% 2-15-2015 3.815% AAA
What is the price in dollars of the February 2005 Treasury note with semiannual payment if its par value is $100,000?
What is the current yield of this note?

- Suppose the U.S. Treasury issued $500 million face value of 10 year, 7.5% bonds on January 15, 2005 at par value. Coupon interest is paid semi-annually with the face value due in 10 years (1/15/2015). On January 14, 2006, this bond is priced in the market to yield a stated 8%, using semiannual compounding. Calculate the correct price you will pay for the bond on 1/15/2006, for each $100 of face value. If, on the other hand, the stated yield-to-maturity of these bonds is 7%, what is their price (per $100 face value)? Suppose the U.S. Treasury issues $1,000 million face value, 7.5%, 30-year bonds on January 15, 2006. Coupon interest is paid semi-annually with the face value payable in 30 years (1/15/2036). If these bonds are priced in the market at 94 on the issue date (i.e. $94 purchase price for each $100 of face value on 1/15/2006), what is the stated yield to maturity?

The Last Price and Last Yield columns indicate each bond’s price and YTM at the end of trading. EST Spread indicates the bond’s spread above the relevant US Treasury benchmark, expressed as a percentage. UST indicates which US Treasury security maturity is the relevant benchmark for each bond. EST Volume shows the number of bonds traded during the day. Notice also that prices are stated relative to a par value of $100. Assume all bonds have the same default premium.
