- Suppose 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_forwardAssets, Inc., plans to issue $8 million of bonds with a coupon rate of 11 percent, a par value of $1,000, semiannual coupons, and 20 years to maturity. The current market interest rate on these bonds is 10 percent. In one year, the interest rate on the bonds will be either 12 percent or 8 percent with equal probability.

- Lackson PLC and Hardy Corp. both have 8 percent coupon bonds outstanding, withsemiannual interest payments, and both are priced at par value. The Lackson PLC bondhas 2 years to maturity, whereas the Hardy Corp. bond has 15 years to maturity.(i) If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the priceof these bonds? (ii) If interest rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentagechange in the price of these bonds be then? (iii) What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?arrow_forwardThe Faulk Corp. has a 7 percent coupon bond outstanding. The Yoo Company has an 11 percent bond outstanding. Both bonds have 12 years to maturity, make semiannual payments, and have a YTM of 9 percent. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds? What if interest rates suddenly fall by 2 percent instead? What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of lower coupon bondsarrow_forwardTwo years ago, Company XYZ issued $100 million worth of ten-year bonds with a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 5%. Coupon payments are made semi-annually. Two years ago, the market yield-to-maturity was 3% p.a. Due to the increased insecurity facing the industry, the market yield to maturity is now 7% p.a. a) Determine the market price of the bonds at issue based on an appropriate model. b) Based on the yield-to-maturity today, assess whether the price has changed and proceed to determine its market price today. c) Compare the results in (a) and (b) above and interpret the sensitivity of bond prices to maturity and yield to maturity.arrow_forward
- Kholdy Inc's bonds currently sell for $1,275. They pay a $120 annual coupon and have a 20- year maturity and a par value of $1000, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,120. 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.

Now, with 7 years left until the maturity of the bonds, the company has run into hard times and the yield to maturity on the bonds has increased to 12%. What is now the price of the bond? (Assume semiannual coupon payments.) Suppose that investors believe that Castles can make good on the promised coupon payments but that the company will go bankrupt when the bond matures and the principal comes due. The expectation is that investors will receive only 82% of face value at maturity.
