The firm is currently renegotiating the debt, and it appears that the lenders will allow the firm to reduce coupon payments on the bond to one-half the originally contracted amount. The firm can handle these lower payments. What are (a) the stated and (b) the expected yield to maturity of the bonds? The bond makes its coupon payments annually.

A company is more likely to call its bonds if they are able to replace their current high-coupon debt with less expensive financing. A bond is more likely to be called if its price is par—because this means that the going market interest rate is less than its coupon rate. Quantitative Problem: Ace Products has a bond issue outstanding with 15 years remaining to maturity, a coupon rate of 8.6% with semiannual payments of $43, and a par value of $1,000. The price of each bond in the issue is $1,220.00. The bond issue is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,086.What is the bond's current yield? Round your answer to two decimal places.

If the pure expectations theory of the term structure is correct, which of the following statements would be CORRECT? a. If a 1-year Treasury bill has a yield to maturity of 7% and a 2-year Treasury bill has a yield to maturity of 8%, this would imply the market believes that 1-year rates will be 7.5% one year from now. b. The yield on a 5-year corporate bond should always exceed the yield on a 3-year Treasury bond. c. Interest rate (price) risk is higher on long-term bonds, but reinvestment rate risk is higher on short-term bonds. d. An upward-sloping yield curve would imply that interest rates are expected to be lower in the future. e. Interest rate (price) risk is higher on short-term bonds, but reinvestment rate risk is higher on long-term bonds
A firm issues a one-year bond with face value 1000 at time T and the firm’s assets value is 1,500 and the volatility of the firm’s assets is 0.3. What is the distance to default of this firm in KMV model? What is the probability of default?
A bond is a debt investment in which an investor loans money to an entity (typically corporate or governmental) which borrows the funds for a defined period of time at a variable or fixed interest rate. Suppose the bond issued by Logan Inc. has 5-year maturity with coupon of 12%. 4.1. If the yield to maturity is 10%, compute the bond value. Compute the modified duration of this bond. Use the modified duration to estimate the change in price if the interest rate decreases by 0.50%. 4.2. 4.3.
I need a step by step solution on how to solve these types of problems: Lee Corp.'s 5-year bonds yield 7.50% and 5-year T-bonds yield 4.40%. The real risk-free rate is r* = 2.5%, the inflation premium for 5-year bonds isIP = 1.50%, the default risk premium for Kay's bonds is DRP = 1.40% versus zero for T-bonds, and the maturity risk premium for all bonds is found with the formula MRP = (t –1)×0.1%, where t = number of years to maturity. What is the liquidity premium (LP) on Kay's bonds?
Lantech investor is deciding between two bonds: Bond A pay $72 annual interest and has a market value of $925. It has 10 years to maturity. Bond B pays $62 annual interest and has a market value of $910. It has two years to maturity. Par value of the bonds is $1,000. A. What is the current yield on both bonds? B. Which bond should be chosen and why? C. A drawback of current yield is that is doesn't consider the total life of the bond. E.g. Yield to maturity on Bond A is 8.33 percent. What is the yield to maturity on Bond B? D. Is your answer changed from parts B and C based on which bond should be chosen?
Please explain why this is the formula. Problem to this solution: Suppose the yield on a 10-year T-bond is currently 5.05% and that on a 10-year Treasury Inflation Protected Security (TIPS) is 1.80%. Suppose further that the MRP on a 10-year T-bond is 0.90%, that no MRP is required on a TIPS, and that no liquidity premium is required on any T-bond. Given this information, what is the expected rate of inflation over the next 10 years? Disregard cross-product terms, i.e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average.
Assume a company plans to make two new bonds issues at the same time. Both will have the same coupon rate and maturity. The firm plans to sell the regular bond at face value, that is, at $1,000 per bond. The second bond will be callable. What must be true about the sale price of this second bond? The price of the bond will have to be lower than $1,000. The price of the bond will have to be higher than $1,000. The price of the bond will have to be equal to $1,000. The price of the bond will be whatever the firm wants it to be. It is not possible to make estimates about the price of the second bond.
