Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
Please help me solve the problem correct
A bond currently sells for $1,080, which gives it a yield to maturity of 7%. Suppose that if the yield increases by 50 basis points, the price of the bond falls to $1,050. What is the duration of this bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to decimal places.) Duration years
A 5-year bond with a yield of 4% (continuously compounded), with a face value of $100, pays an 3% coupon at the end of each year. What is the bond’s price? (You can use your calculations for the next questions) A 5-year bond with a yield of 4% (continuously compounded) pays an 3% coupon at the end of each year. What is the bond’s duration? Use the calculations from the previous problem to make it easier, and you can use your duration answer for the following question.
Consider a bond with a face value of $1,000. The coupon is paid semiannually and the market interest rate (effective annual interest rate) is 8 percent. How much would you pay for the bond if a. the coupon rate is 6 percent and the remaining time to maturity is 10 years?
1. A three-year bond with a $1,000 face-value and 10% coupon rate is sold for $1,000 today (Year 1). If one year later (Year 2) the market interest rate decreases by 5%, then this bond will have a market price of $ ____ (round UP to the nearest integer) next year (Year 2). 2. True or False? The current interest rate on a 10-year coupon bond with face value = $1,000 and annual coupon rate = 3.25% is2.42%. This implies the buyer of the bond will receive a $24.2 payment from the bond issuer every year before maturity while holding the bond. 3. A three-year bond with $1,000 face-value and 10% coupon rate is sold for $1,000 today (YEAR 1). If one year later (Year 2) the market interest rate increases by 5%, then this bond will have a market price of $ ________ (round UP to the nearest integer) then (Year 2).
A 10-year bond has a coupon rate of 6.4% and pays coupons semi-annually. If the required return is 6.69%, how much should you be willing to pay for the bond today? Round to 2 decimal places. Include a dollar sign ($) or percent (%) as appropriate. NOTE: All bonds have a par value of $1000 that is paid at maturity. Answer:
2. A bond has a par value of $1,000, a time to maturity of 10 years, and a coupon rate of 8% with interest paid annually. If the current market price is $800, what will be the approximate capital gain yield of this bond over the next year if its yield to maturity remains unchanged?
Bond X is a premium bond making semiannual payments. The bond has a coupon rate of 9 percent, a YTM of 7 percent, and 15 years to maturity. Bond Y is a discount bond making semiannual payments. This bond has a coupon rate of 7 percent, a YTM of 9 percent, and also has 15 years to maturity. Both bonds have a par value of $1,000. a. What is the price of each bond today? b. If interest rates remain unchanged, what do you expect the price of these bonds to be 1 year from now? In 6 years? In 10 years? In 14 years? In 15 years? Note: For all requirements, do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. a. Price today b. Price in 1 year Price in 6 years Price in 10 years Price in 14 years Price in 15 years Bond X Bond Y
