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 = 117.10. ii. 111. iv.

Consider a bond with a coupon of 7 percent, five years to maturity, and a current price of $1,025.30. Suppose the yield on the bond suddenly increases by 2 percent. a. Use duration to estimate the new price of the bond. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Price b. Calculate the new bond price using the usual bond pricing formula. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Price
Answer both questions
4. (i) A forward contract written on a bond has 10 months remaining until maturity. The face value of the bond is $1000, and it pays a 7% coupon every 6 months. The final coupon is due immediately prior to the maturity of the forward. The relevant riskless rate of interest is 5%. If the bond is trading at $1025, calculate the theoretical forward price and initial value of the forward contract and explain the forward pricing relationship. (ii) Provide numerical examples of arbitrage strategies for situations where a broker offers a price above, and below the theoretical forward price.
