Suppose you are given the following information about four different, default-free bonds, each with a face value of $1,000. The coupon bonds have annual payments. The yield to maturity of bond A with a maturity of 1 year and a coupon rate of 0% is 2%. The yield to maturity of bond B with a maturity of 2 year and a coupon rate of 10% is 3.908%. The yield to maturity of bond C with a maturity of 3 year and a coupon rate of 6% is 5.840%. The yield to maturity of bond D with a maturity of 4 year and a coupon rate of 12% is 5.783%. Given this information, what is the four-year spot rate?
The table below shows the time to maturity for 3 bonds, a 2-year, 3-year, and 5- year. Each annual coupon bond has a yield to maturity of 4.36% and a coupon rate of 3.79%. Estimate the percent change in bonds price to a percent change in one plus the interest rate, assuming a 10 basis point change in the interest rates. Approximate Elasticity Maturity 2-year Bond 3-year Bond 5-year Bond
1. What is the yield to maturity on the following bonds; all have a maturity of 10 years, a face value of 2000, and a coupon rate of 4 percent (paid semiannually). The bond's current prices are: a. $1,180 b. $ 2,400 c. Explain the relationship between yield to maturity and bond prices.
Submit your solutions as an Excel document. Be sure to clearly label the various parts of the problem. 1. Consider the following two bonds that make semi - annual coupon payments. Assume the first coupon payment occurs in exactly six months, and the bond has a face value of $1000. Coupon Rate Time to Maturity YTM Bond A 3.80% 8 years 3.6% Bond B 3.80% 18 years 4.2% a.) What is the current price (t = 0) of Bond A? Be sure to set up the valuation equation. b.) What will be the price of Bond A exactly halfway in between t = 0 and the first coupon date? c.) Using a spreadsheet, plot the price - yield relationship for both Bond A and Bond B on the same set of axes. Do this for a range of yields from 2% to 11% (in increments of 50 basis points). d.) Use a spreadsheet to compute the annualized Macaulay duration and modified duration for Bond A at a yield - to - maturity of 3.6%. Provide an interpretation of the modified duration with regards to maturity and interest rate risk. e.) Use a…
A newly issued bond with 1 year to maturity has a price of $1,000, which equals its face value. The coupon rate is 15% and the probability of default in 1 year is 35%. The bond’s payoff in default will be 65% of its face value. a. Calculate the bond’s expected return. b. Use a data table to show the expected return as a function of the recovery percentage and the price of the bond. Please show how you got part B using all functions.
Calculate the purchase price of the following bonds. Indicate whether the bonds are priced at a discount, at par or at a premium. Give your answers in dollars and cents to the nearest cent. Face Value Coupon Rate Years to Maturity Market Rate a) $100 r = 6.75% 5 j2 = 6.75% b) $1,000 r = 8% 11 j2 = 6.25% c) $10,000 r = 7% 20 j2 = 8.75% Quoted coupon rates and market rates are nominal annual rates compounded semi-annually. a)Price = $ This bond is priced at:a discountpara premium b)Price = $ This bond is priced at:a discountpara premium c)Price = $ This bond is priced at:a discountpara premium
Refer to Table 10-2. a. Assume the interest rate in the market (yield to maturity) goes down to 8 percent for the 10 percent bonds. Using column 2, indicate what the bond price will be with a 10-year, a 20-year, and a 25-year time period. b. Assume the interest rate in the market (yield to maturity) goes up to 12 percent for the 10 percent bonds. Using column 3, indicate what the bond price will be with a 10-year, a 20-year, and a 25-year period. c. Assume the interest rate in the market (yield to maturity) goes down to 8 percent for the 10 percent bonds. If interest rates in the market are going down, which bond would you choose to own? multiple choice 1 10 Years 20 Years 25 Years d. Assume the interest rate in the market (yield to maturity) goes up to 12 percent for the 10 percent bonds.

What is the yield to maturity of each bond? b. What is the duration of each bond? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A Required B What is the yield to maturity of each bond? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Bond Coupon YTM (%) 2 4 6.00 % 7.42% 8 7.01 %
2. Finding the Yield to Maturity (I/Y) of bonds in the secondary market. Plug in the values in the formula, write the keys you enter in the Financial Calculator, and use Excel (formula and arguments). Use the Table below for each answer. a. A bond is currently traded at $850 in the secondary market. It matures in 7 years and has a coupon rate of 3%, paid semi-annually. Find the YTM (I/Y in the calculator) i. Is this a discount or premium bond? ii. Is YTM more or less than the Coupon Rate? iii. How are your previous two answers related? Explain. b. A bond is currently traded at $1350 in the secondary market. It matures in 7 years and has a coupon rate of 9%, paid semi-annually. (I/Y in the calculator) i. Is this a discount or premium bond? ii. Is YTM more or less than the Coupon Rate? iii. How are your previous two answers related? Explain. c. Describe the relationship between the YTM, the coupon rate, and the bond price.
A bond has just been issued. The bond has an annual coupon rate of 4% and coupons are paid annually. The bond has a face value of $1,000 and will mature in 8 years. The bond’s yield to maturity is 8%. Create a table to demonstrate the impact of the coupon rate and the time to maturity on the bond’s duration using: Coupon Rates of 0%, 4%, 8%, and 12%. Maturities of 4 years, 8 years, and 12 years.
8. A bond has just been issued. The bond has an annual coupon rate of 12% and coupons are paid annually. The bond has a face value of $1,000 and will mature in 20 years.
