The current zero-coupon yield curve for risk-free bonds is as follows What is the price per $100 face value of a two-year, zero-coupon, risk-free bond?
The price per $100 face value of the two-year, zero-coupon, risk-free bond is $ ____ (Round to the nearest cent.)
The current zero-coupon yield curve for risk-free bonds is as follows: What is the risk-free interest rate for a five-year maturity?
The risk-free interest rate for a five-year maturity is _____%. (Round to two decimal places.)
The rate of return that you would earn if you bought a bond and held It to its maturity date is called the bond's yield to maturity (YTM). If Interest rates in the economy rise after a bond has been issued, what will happen to the bond's price and to Its YTM? Does the length of time to maturity affect the extent to which a given change in interest rates will affect the bond's price? Briefly explain with necessary numerical data.

Plot the zero-coupon yield curve (for the first five years). c. Is the yield curve upward sloping, downward sloping, or flat?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is correct? O If you pay a price above its face value to buy a bond, your return will be higher than its coupon rate. O When market rate is greater than coupon rate, the bond has a price below its face value. O When determining the value of a bond that payments semi-annual payments, one need to use semi-annual coupon rate to determine the coupon payments and semi-annual market rate as discount rate.arrow_forwardSuppose that the yield curve shows that the one-year bond yield is 8 percent, the two-year yield is 7 percent, and the three-year yield is 7 percent. Assume that the risk premium on the one-year bond is zero, the risk premium on the two-year bond is 1 percent, and the risk premium on the three-year bond is 2 percent. a. What are the expected one-year interest rates next year and the following year? The expected one-year interest rate next year = The expected one-year interest rate the following year b.
