Chapter 7, Problem 33QP
Holding Period Yield [LO2] The YTM on a bond is the interest rate you earn on your investment if interest rates don’t change. If you actually sell the bond before it matures, your realized return is known as the holding period yield (HPY).
a. Suppose that today you buy a bond with an annual coupon rate of 7 percent for $1,060. The bond has 17 years to maturity. What
b. Two years from now, the YTM on your bond has declined by 1 percent, and you decide to sell. What price will your bond sell for? What is the HPY on your investment? Compare this yield to the YTM when you first bought the bond. Why are they different?

About rate of return
For a consol that pays $100 annually, if the yield to maturity at the beginning of the year is 10%, and the yield to maturity at the end of the year is 5%, please calculate the return of the consol of this year.
If a coupon bond that is going to mature in two years is selling at par. Suppose its coupon rate is 10%, the yield to maturity at the begging of the year is 10%, and the yield to maturity at the end of the year is 5%. Please calculate the return of the coupon bond of this year.
D3)
Currently, the market interest rate on a bond is 10%. Yield-to-Maturity is a return you can reliaze when you are investing in a bond until its maturity. If you decide to sell the bond before the maturity, what would be your realized return like? and why?
P2. Bond J has a coupon rate of 3 percent. Bond K has a coupon rate of 9 percent. Both bonds have 19 years to maturity, make semiannual payments, and have a YTM of 6 percent. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage price change of these bonds? What if rates suddenly fall by 2 percent instead? What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of lower-coupon bonds?

- QUESTION 7 Consider the market for a bond which has a face value of $2,000, pays a coupon of $100, and matures in 1 year (that is, you will get the face value and one coupon payment next year). Suppose the demand for such bonds is given by P=4,000-2Q, and that the supply of such bonds is given by P=1,000+Q. What is the yield to maturity if one were to purchase the bond at the equilibrium price? 5% .05% 10% .10%arrow_forwardD3) Finance 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. Yield to maturity is an annualized simple interest rate compounded annually. If the bond yield increases by 50 basis points, what is the approximation of the percentage capital gain or loss? 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% A value between -8% and -9% None of the other answers are correct.

Pure expectations theory The pure expectations theory, or the expectations hypothesis, asserts that long-term interest rates can be used to estimate future short-term interest rates. A.

The bond has 17 years to maturity. What rate of return do you expect to earn on your investment? Assume a par value of $1000. 2 years from now, the YTM on your bond has declined by 1 %, and you decide to sell. What price will your bond sell for? What is the HPY on your investment?

- 10-2 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, or 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? 10-3 A bond that pays interest forever and has no maturity date is a perpetual bond.

The bond is currently selling for $1,150 and has 8 years to maturity. What is the bond’s yield to maturity? A 10-year, 7% coupon bond with a face value of $1,000 is currently selling for $871.65. Compute your rate of return if you sell the bond next year for $880.10. Consider the decision to purchase either a 5-year corporate bond or a 5-year municipal bond. The corporate bond is a 12% annual coupon bond with a par value of $1,000. It is currently yielding 5%. The municipal bond has an 8.5% annual coupon and a par value of $1,000.
