Chapter 7, Problem 21QP
Summary Introduction
To determine: The current yield, the yield to maturity, and the effective annual yield
Introduction:
Yields refer to the return on the investment made by an investor. A bond yield refers to the return earned by the investor on the bond, if he or she holds the bond until the bond matures. It is also known as the yield to maturity.
The current yield of the bond is the annual coupon of the bond divided by the price of the bond. Effective annual yield refers to the actual earnings that the investor earns from the bond investments.

3. Asea Brown Boveri (ABB Group) Bond has a coupon rate of 14%. Caterpillar Bond has a coupon rate of 6%. Both bonds have 20 years to maturity, a par value of $1,000 and a YTM of 10% and both make semiannual payments. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2%, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds? Instead, if rates suddenly fall by 2%, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds? As interest rates fall by 2%, which of the two bonds would you prefer to own. Explain briefly, why?
D4)
Suppose that there is 30-year coupon bond with par value of $100 and Macaulay duration of 20.56. The coupon rate is unknown. Currently, the bond is traded at $90 and the yield is flat at 20% pa.

Please choose the correct range for the percentage capital gain/loss, i.e., if it is -3.5%, please select “A value between -3% and -4%”
A value between -9% and -10%
