The demand D (in billions of £) for a bond with coupon rate 5% and face value FV = 1000, and two years to maturity as a function of its price P is D = 4000 − 2P. The supply in (billions of £)as a function of the price of the bond is S = 2P + 400. b) Suppose that the yield to maturity of the bond is i = 0.05. What is the quantity demanded/supplied at this interest rate? What happens to the demand/supply of the bond as the interest rate increases? Explain why. c) What is the equilibrium interest rate? d) Suppose that the bond trades at premium. Is there excess demand or supply? Explain. e) There is a business cycle contraction, so both supply and demand shifts. After the shift, the new demand curve is given by: D = 4000 + X − 2P , whereas the new supply curve is S = 2P + 200. For which values of X will the interest increase/decrease? Which values of X are in line with empirical data? Please show all the steps and equations used to get to the answers.
Below you will find the Demand and Supply Curves for $250,000 bonds that mature in 18 years: Qd = 400,000 – 2(P) Qs = 3(P) – 100,000 What is the current equilibrium interest rate in that bond market?
6. Suppose the price of a one-year bond is $9,600. We know that the face value of the bond is $10,000, what is the interest rate on this bond? a) 4.17%; b) 1.41%; c) 1.04%; d) 4.17%,
.An investor invests $2,600 in a company at a steady annual interest yield of 4.99 percent. She earns $390 profit in year 1, earns $467 profit in year 2, and earns $285 profit in year 3. Find the Present Value of this investment asset flow.
Suppose you purchase a $10,000 face value zero-coupon bond and hold it to maturity, a term of 10 years. You paid $8,072 for the bond. A) What was your expected yield to maturity? B) What was your actual rate of return? % Enter answers as percents and round to 2 decimal places.
How would I figure this out. The equation I’ve been using for bonds is Y=ai/p Ai for annual interest P for price of bond. Question: One year before maturity the price of a bond with a principal amount of $1000 and a coupon rate of 5% paid annually fell to $981. The one-year interest rate must be: A) 7.0% B) 1.9% C) 5.0% D) 8.5% McGrawHill says that 7% is the correct answer but I don’t know how to do the math to get that.
1. You purchased a bond for $925. The bond has a face value of $1,000 and it pays a dividend once a year. You sold the bond for $850 after 3 years well before the bond reaches maturity. You find that in this investment you made a 4% rate of return. a) What is the amount of dividend that the bond paid you every year? b) What is the interest rate the bond is paying?
7. If a simple discount bond sells above par, what do you know about the interest rate?
Based on the concept of present value, the yield to maturity of a coupon bond is calculated by: P C/ (1+i) + C/ (1+i) 2 + C/ (1+i) 3 + .C/ (1+i)" (P stands for the price of bond, C for the coupon payments, i for the yield to maturity, and n for the years to maturity.) True False
What is the difference between (Fair Market Price) and (Current Market Price)? I struggle to understand how both relate to the (Required Rate of Return) and (Expected Rate of Return). Please correct me if I am wrong, my understanding is that if Fair Market Price is greater than the Current Market Price on security/stock, then I should buy more. In contrast, I have to sell when it's vice versa. I would appreciate it if you could illustrate with examples, i.e., numbers.
