A bond has two years to mature. It makes a coupon payment of $100 after one year and both a coupon payment of $100 and a principal payment of $1,000 after two years. The bond is selling for $1,072.99. What is its effective yield? The bond's effective yield is percent. (Enter a numeric response rounded to two decimal places.)

Assume that a bond has a face value of $250,000. It has a maturity of 1 year and the coupon rate of interest is 5%. If the current market price of this bond is $225,000, what is the yield to maturity? If the market price of the bond increases to $240,000, what happens to the yield to maturity?
Suppose a 3 year bond with a 6% coupon rate that was purchased for $760 and had a promised yield of 8%. Suppose that interest rates increased and the price of the bond declined. Displeased, you sold the bond for 798.8 after having owned it for 1 year. What should be the realized yield ?
Consider a coupon bond that has a par value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 8%. The bond is currently selling for $1,055.78 and has 2 years to maturity. What is the bond's yield to maturity (YTM)? The yield to maturity is %. (Round your response to one decimal place.)

Consider a bond with a face value of $2,000 that pays a coupon of $50 for 1 year (that is, you will receive both the face value and one coupon payment next year). Suppose the bond is purchased at $2,000. What is the yield to maturity of the bond? 2.5% 25% 1.025% 1.25%
A $1000-face-value bond has a 10% coupon rate, its current price is $960, and its price is expected to increase to $980 next year. Calculate the current yield, the expected rate of capital gain, and the expected rate of return.
A 30-year maturity bond with face value of $1,000 makes semiannual coupon payments and has a coupon rate of 8%. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 3 decimal places. What is the yield to maturity if the bond is selling for $900? What is the yield to maturity if the bond is selling for $1,000? What is the yield to maturity if the bond is selling for $1,100?
A bond with a face value of $1,000 has 8 years until maturity, has a coupon rate of 8%, and sells for $1,100. What is the yield to maturity if interest is paid once a year? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 4 decimal places. What is the yield to maturity if interest is paid semiannually? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 4 decimal places.
A five-year bond with a yield of 11% (continuously compounded) pays an 8% coupon at the end of each year. a) What is the bond’s price? b) What is the bond’s duration? c) Use the duration to calculate the effect on the bond’s price of a 0.2% decrease in its yield. d) Recalculate the bond’s price on the basis of a 10.8% per annum yield and verify that the result is in agreement with your answer to (c).
A zero-coupon bond is a bond that is sold for less than its face value (that is, it is discounted) and has no periodic interest payments. Instead, the bond is redeemed for its face value at maturity. Thus, in this sense, interest is paid at maturity. Suppose that a zero-coupon bond sells for $8,800 and can be redeemed in 20-years for its face value of $48,000. What is the annual compound rate of return? Annual compound rate = % (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
If a bank offers an investment opportunity for which the interest is compounded quarterly, and you will earn an annual effective interest rate of 19.25%. Determine the nominal interest rate. Note: when calculating interest rates, do not convert to a percent. Leave it in decimal format and round to 4 places after the decimal. So if you think the answer is 3.45678%, then leave it as a proportion as 0.0345678 and then round to 0.0346.
