- LOW4486452: The coupon rate is 3.1%, the last trade price is $111.33, and the Maturity date is 05/03/2027 Using the bond LOW4486452, assume that the price does not include accrued interest. Calculate the market price of that bond in dollars and calculate the accrued interest. You will assume that today is the 1st of November. Also, assume that the bond pays interest on the month that the bond matures and 6 months after. Also, assume that the interest is paid on the first of the month no matter the maturity date. For example, suppose a bond matures on 4/8/2042. You will assume that interest is paid on 4/1 and 10/1 Making these assumptions, how much accrued interest would you pay the owner if you bought the bond? What would the total amount be that you paid for the bond?Suppose the real risk-free rate is 2.5%, the average future inflation rate is 2.3%, a maturity premium of 0.07% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.07% (t), where t is the years to maturity. Suppose also that a liquidity premium of 1% and a default risk premium of 0.7% applies to A-rated corporate bonds. How much higher would the rate of return be on a 7-year A-rated corporate bond than on a 5-year Treasury bond. Here we assume that the pure expectations theory is NOT valid.

- An investor in Treasury securities expects inflation to be 2.2% in Year 1, 2.7% in Year 2, and 3.65% each year thereafter. Assume that the real risk-free rate is 2.45% and that this rate will remain constant. Three-year Treasury securities yield 5.50%, while 5-year Treasury securities yield 7.00%. What is the difference in the maturity risk premiums (MRPs) on the two securities; that is, what is MRP5 - MRP3? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.Suppose the 6-month Mini S&P 500 futures price is 1,345.99, while the cash price is 1,335.81. What is the implied difference between the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield on the S&P 500? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Implied difference %The maturity risk premium for Vonda bonds are 3%, default risk premium for Vonda bonds are 4%, and the liquidity risk premium for Vonda bonds are 2%. The real rate of return is 3% and the inflation premium is 3%. What is the nominal rate of return?
- What is the implied interest rate on a Treasury bond ($100,000) futures contract that settled at 100’160? If interest rates increased by 1%, what wouldbe the contract’s new value?The value of any financial asset is the present ✓ value of the cash flows the asset is expected to produce. For a bond with fixed annual coupons, its value is equal to the present value of all its annual interest payments and its maturity value as shown in the equation below: Bond's value = VB: Int. Int. (1+ra)² (1+ra)² N + ·+...+ Int. M + (1+ra)* (1+ra) Int. M (1+ra) (1+ra)N + We could use the valuation equation shown above to solve for a bond's value; however, it is more efficient to use a financial calculator. Simply enter N as years to maturity, I/YR as the going annual interest rate, PMT as the annual coupon payment (calculated as the annual coupon interest rate times the face value of the bond), and FV as the stated maturity value. Once those inputs are entered in your financial calculator, you can solve for PV, the value of the bond. Remember that the signs for PMT and FV should be the same, so PV will have an opposite sign. Typically, you would enter PMT and FV as positive…13. Consider a coupon bond with coupon payment=4.25, M=100, and n=2. Suppose ?1 = 4% and ?2 = 4.24%. Consider a forward contract for the delivery of the coupon bond in one period from today. Calculate the forward price using the following two approaches: 1) use the forward rate to price the forward contract; 2) use the cost of carry approach: spot-forward parity adjusted for the coupons.
- If the real rate of interest is 2%, inflation is expected to be 3% during the coming year, and the default risk premium, illiquidity risk premium, and maturity risk premium for the Bonds-R-Us Corporation are all 1% each, what would be the yield (stated rate) on a Bonds-R-Us bond?Suppose that the price of a Treasury bill with 85 days to maturity and a $25,000 face value is $24,500. What is the bond equivalent yield?Currently, 3-year Treasury securities yield 5,8%, 7-year Treasury securities yield 5.9%, and 10-year Treasury securities yield 6.2%. If the expectations theory is correct, what does the market expect will be the yield on 3-year Treasury securities seven years from today? O 6.50% 6,70% O 7.30% O 7.10 % O 6.90%
