Chapter 6, Problem 6.7P
Term structure of interest rates The following yield data for a number of highest-quality corporate bonds existed at each of the three points in time noted.
a. On the same set of axes, draw the y1eld curve at each of the three given times.
b. Label each curve in part a with its general shape (downward sloping, upward sloping, flat).
c. Describe the general interest rate expectation existing at each of the three times, assuming the expectations theory holds.
d. Examine the data from 5 years ago. According to the expectations theory, what approximate return did investors expect a 5-year bond to pay as of today?

a. What is the price (expressed as a percentage of the face value) of a 1-year, zero-coupon corporate bond with a AAA rating and a face value of $1,000?
b. What is the credit spread on AAA-rated corporate bonds?
c. What is the credit spread on B-rated corporate bonds?
d. How does the credit spread change with the bond rating? Why?
Note: Assume annual compounding.
The yield to maturity reported in the financial pages for Treasury securities
A. is calculated by doubling the semiannual yield.
B. is calculated by doubling the semiannual yield and is also called the bond equivalent yield.
C. is calculated as the yield-to-call for premium bonds.
D. is also called the bond equivalent yield.
E. is calculated by compounding the semiannual yield.
Suppose the returns on long-term government bonds are normally distributed. Assume long-term government bonds have a mean return of 6.1 percent and a standard deviation of 9.8 percent.
What is the approximate probability that your return on these bonds will be less than −3.7 percent in a given year? Use the NORMDIST function in Excel® to answer this question.
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
What range of returns would you expect to see 95 percent of the time?
Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers from lowest to highest. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
What range would you expect to see 99 percent of the time?
Note: A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answers from lowest to highest. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter…

Is the yield curve upward sloping, downward sloping, or flat?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is CORRECT? Group of answer choices The bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach to estimating the cost of common equity involves adding a risk premium to the interest rate on the company’s own long-term bonds. The size of the risk premium for bonds with different ratings is published daily in The Wall Street Journal or is available online. The WACC is calculated using a before-tax cost for debt that is equal to the interest rate that must be paid on new debt, along with the after-tax costs for common stock and for preferred stock if it is used. An increase in the risk-free rate is likely to reduce the marginal costs of both debt and equity. The relevant WACC can change depending on the amount of funds a firm raises during a given year. Moreover, the WACC at each level of funds raised is a weighted average of the marginal costs of each capital component, with the weights based on the firm’s target capital structure. Beta measures market risk,…arrow_forward
