10. Consider two three-year bonds with 6% annual coupons and a face value of 100. Assume
that these two bonds are identical expect that one bond is callable with a call price of $101,
and another bond is non-callable. Assume that the current market interest rate is 6%. Also
assume that the market interest rate at t=1 is 4.5% and that the market rates stay at 4.5% until
t=3. Which of the following statements are correct (assume annual compounding)?
i.
The price of the non-callable bond at t=1 is: +
106
1.045 1.0452
102.81
The value at t=3 of the callable bond is: 107 × 1.045² = 116.85
The value at t3 of the non-callable bond is: 6 × 1.06² +6× 1.06 + 106 =
119.10
The bond will not be called at t=1.
*
The value at t=3 of the callable bond is: 6 × 1.06² +4.545 × 1.06 + 105.545 =
