You have a $1000 bond at 5% (coupon rate) that matures in 7 years and pays interest annually. You want to sell it, but the current interest rate on a similar investment that matures in 7 years is now paying 6% interest. What is the current value of your bond?
Suppose that you just bought a four-year $1,000 coupon bond with a coupon rate of 6.5% when the market interest rate is 6.5%. You sell the bond one year later after the market interest rate falls to 4.5%. The rate of return earned on the bond during the year was %. (Round your response to two decimal places.)
Suppose that you just bought a four-year $1,000 coupon bond with a coupon rate of 5.7% when the market interest rate is 5.7%. You sell the bond one year later after the market interest rate falls to 3.7%. The rate of return earned on the bond during the year was %. (Round your response to two decimal places.)
Suppose you purchased a ten-year, 8% coupon bond(annual coupon payment) at $980. Two years later, you decide to take a vacation and sell the bond to acquire the necessary funds. At the time you sell the bond, eight-year bonds with similar characteristics sell for yields of 9%. What is your realized yield on the bond?
If you purchased a bond one year ago for $1000 and just sold it for $1100 after receiving the $50 annual coupon payment, then what was your real return on the investment if theinflation rate was 2.1% for the same year?
Assume you buy a five-year, $1,000 par value bond with a 6% coupon and a 7% yield. Immediately after you acquire the bond, the yield increases to 8% and remains there until maturity. Calculate the realised horizon yield on a bond that you intend to keep till maturity. Annual interest is paid.
Consider a bond at par initially issued for a 30-year term. Its nominal rate (annual coupon) is 5%. You buy this bond when it still has 20 years of residual maturity. At that time, the market rate is 8%. A few days after your purchase, the market rate drops to 6% (this assumption is then always verified). You will sell your bond 12 years later (8 years before maturity). What will have been the overall annual profitability of your investment?
Part a: You are considering investing in a 9 year bond with a face value of $10,000, an annual coupon rate of 8% and a yield to maturity of 12%. Part b: Assume that you purchased the bond. Three years later, after you have received the first three coupons, your broker tells you the bond is now trading at a yield to maturity of 7.6%. QUESTION: What annual rate of return would you have earned if you purchased the bond in part a and sold it in part b?
Assume that you pay $815.36 for a long-term bond that carries a coupon of 7.7%. Over the course of the next 12 months, interest rates drop sharply. As a result, you sell the bond at a price of $958.17. a. Find the current yield that existed on this bond at the beginning of the year. What was it by the end of the one-year holding period? b. Determine the holding period return on this investment. (Hint: See Chapter 4 for the HPR formula.) ... a. The current yield that existed on this bond at the beginning of the year is %. (Round to two decimal places.)
Assume you can buy a bond that has a par value of $1000, matures in 10 years, yielding 6% and has a duration of 5. If you would like to use this bond to form a guaranteed investment contract “GIC” and offer a guaranteed rate of return to investors for certain years. a. what is the maximum yield you can offer? Why? Explain. b. For how many years would you make the guarantee? Explain.
1. You buy a 6 year bond with an annual 5% coupon at par value, $1000. If the yield to maturity at the end of the first year changes to 3% what is the end of the year value of the bond(after the coupon payment, remember: bond value does not include this coupon)? 2. Calculate the value of a 6 year 2% coupon bond with semiannual payments, 1000 par. Expected return is the risk free rate of 3%. 3. Price a 5 year 4% semiannual coupon bond if the yield to maturity is 6% (write the price as if par is 100, use 5 decimal places)
Two years ago, you invested in a zero coupon bond with a face value $1,000 and 2-year term to maturity for $910. Today, at the date of maturity, the bond issuer announces that default occurs with a renegotiation price $940. If you accept the renegotiation price at the date of maturity, what is your realized annual rate of return?
