Summary Introduction
To discuss: Whether the bid yield would be larger than the ask yield
Introduction:
Bid price refers to the price that an investor would be willing to pay to buy the security. Ask price refers to the price that a dealer would be ready to accept in exchange for the sale of bond or security instrument.
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.
Bid yield refers to the yield that the investor would achieve from a bond instrument if he or she purchases the bond at the bid price and holds the bond until it matures. Ask yield refers to the yield that the investor would achieve from a bond instrument if he or she purchases the bond at the ask price and holds the bond until it matures.

- 9. Interest rates and decisions Suppose that a firm is facing an upward-sloping yield curve and needs to borrow money to invest in production. Does this mean that the firm should consider borrowing only at short-term rates? No, the firm needs to take the volatility of short-term rates into account. Yes, using short-term financing will give the firm the lowest possible interest rate over the life of the project. No, an upward-sloping yield curve means that the firm will get a lower interest rate if it uses long-term financing. Credit ratings affect the yields on bonds. Based on the scenario described in the following table, determine whether yields will increase or decrease and whether it will be more expensive or less expensive, as compared to other players in the market, for a company to borrow money from the bond market. Scenario Impact on Yield Cost of Borrowing Money from Bond Markets ABC Real Estate is a commercial real estate firm…arrow_forward2C) Assume that the CAPM holds in the economy. The following data is available about the market portfolio, the riskless rate, and two risky assets, W and X: The market portfolio has a standard deviation equals to 10%, stock W has an expected return equals to 16%, standard deviation equals to 12%, and beta equals to one, stock X has a standard deviation equals to 6% and beta equals to 0.7. The risk-free rate is 3%. What is the expected return and the beta of the market portfolio? What is the expected return on asset X? Does asset W lie on the Capital Market Line?
