The price of a bond with no expiration date is originally $1,000 and has a fixed annual interest payment of $150. If the price of the bond then falls by $250, what will be the interest rate yield to a new buyer of the bond?
A bond that has a face value of $300 maturing in one year is available for purchase for $252 . What is the interest rate offered on the bond (rounded to the nearest whole percent), and if the price of the bond were to increase, how would the interest rate be affected?
What will happen in the bond market if the government imposes a limit on the amount of daily transactions? Which characteristic of an asset would be affected? How might it affect the interest rates. Explain with a graph.

- How do interest rates affect bond yield and bond prices.arrow_forwardImagine that a local water company issued a $10,000 ten-year bond at an interest rate of 6%. You are thinking about buying this bond one year before the end of the ten years, but interest rates are now 9%. Calculate what you would actually be willing to pay for this bond.arrow_forwardUnderstanding the price of bonds and interest rates. The remarkable thing about the events described in the article is that the yield on the 3-month T-bill was briefly negative. To see how this could happen, consider the relationship between bond prices and bond yields. A 3-month T-bill with a maturity value of $1,000 is just a piece of paper that entitles the holder to $1,000 in three months. For example, if you were to buy a 3-month T-bill on September 24, 2008, with a maturity value of $1,000 and 90 days left to maturity, the U.S. government would pay you $1,000 on December 23, 2008. In general, the price of a bond is less than its maturity value. That is, if you are going to give up a certain amount of money for the duration of the bond, you expect to be paid for this loss of liquidity and compensated for inflation that could reduce the value of the repayment at the end of the period. Therefore, a piece of paper entitling you to $1,000 on December 23 would usually be worth less…arrow_forward
