Bob uses 19481 to purchase a 10-year par-value bond (i.e. redeems at face-value). Coupons are paid out annually (end of the year) and each coupon is equal to 2% of the face-value of the bond. If each coupon payment is invested into an account that earns an effective annual interest rate of 2.4%, then what is the face-value of the bond if Bob realizes an overall yield of 3.36% per year effective over the 10 year period? Give your answer rounded to the nearest whole number (i.e. X).
Suppose the investor sells his bonds before maturity and uses some of the proceeds to purchase a zero-coupon T-Bill with a $100 face value and 6-month maturity. What is the effective annual rate (EAR) if it was purchased for $95.52?
A 1-year Treasury bond currently yields 6.0%, and a 2-year bond yields 7.0%. Mr. A, an investor who want to invest for a 2-year horizon is choosing between buying the 2-year security and hold it for 2 years and buy a 1-year security and hold it for 1 year and reinvest the proceeds in another 1-year security.

Landon is considering the purchase of a $2500 bond from Braydon. There are 5 years remaining until the bond matures. Coupon payments are made on a semiannual basis.

What is the effective annual bond interest rate for this particular bond? Bond Equation: P= Vr(P|A, i%, n).
