Consider a $1200 bond that makes $30 annual coupon payments. If the interest rate is 2 percent and the bond matures in two years, what is the bond's present value? Carefully follow all mathematical instructions. Round intermediate steps to four decimal places and your final answer to two decimal places.
1. Assuming that the current interest rate is 3 percent, compute the present value (or price) of a five-year, 5 percent coupon bond with a face value of $1,000. What happens to the present value when the interest rate goes to 4 percent? Compute the new present value.
If the price of a government bond (gilt) traded on the stock market rises above its nominal value, which of the following statement must be true? 1 -The bond's coupon falls below the yield 2 - The bond's coupon rises above the yield 3-the bond's yield rises above the coupon 4 - the bond's yield falls below the coupon
The demand D (in billions of £) for a bond with coupon rate 5% and face value FV = 1000, and two years to maturity as a function of its price P is D = 4000 − 2P. The supply in (billions of £)as a function of the price of the bond is S = 2P + 400. b) Suppose that the yield to maturity of the bond is i = 0.05. What is the quantity demanded/supplied at this interest rate? What happens to the demand/supply of the bond as the interest rate increases? Explain why. c) What is the equilibrium interest rate? d) Suppose that the bond trades at premium. Is there excess demand or supply? Explain. e) There is a business cycle contraction, so both supply and demand shifts. After the shift, the new demand curve is given by: D = 4000 + X − 2P , whereas the new supply curve is S = 2P + 200. For which values of X will the interest increase/decrease? Which values of X are in line with empirical data?
A bond has a Macaulay duration of 10.00 and is priced to yield 8.0%. If interest rates go up so that the yield goes to 8.5%, what will be the percentage change in the price of the bond? Now, if the yield on this bond goes down to 7.5%, what will be the bond's percentage change in price? Comment on your findings. If interest rates go up to 8.5%, the percentage change in the price of the bond is nothing%. (Round to two decimal places.) If interest rates go down to 7.5%, the percentage change in the price of the bond is nothing%. (Round to two decimal places.) Comment on your findings. (Select the best answer below.) A. As interest rates decrease, the price of the bond decreases. As interest rates increase, the price of the bond increases. B. As interest rates increase or decrease, the price of the bond will always increase. C. As interest rates increase or decrease, the price of the bond remains the same. D. As interest rates…
Ryan and Rebecca have 30 years to retirement. They are taking a personal finance course and have calculated their projected retirement income and investment needs. Based on their calculations and taking into account their Social Security and pension incomes, they have a projected shortfall of $6,250.00 per year. Use the following tables to answer the questions about future value interest factors.

Determinants of Interest Rate for Individual Securities A particular security's default risk premium is 3.10 percent. For all securities, the inflation risk premium is 2.10 percent and the real interest rate is 2.30 percent. The security's liquidity risk premium is .80 percent and maturity risk premium is 1.00 percent. The security has no special covenants. What is the security's equilibrium rate of return?
investment A promises to pay £500,000 profit at the end of the first year, £550,000 at the end of two years, £600,000 at the end of three years, and £625,000 at the end of four years. Investment B promises to pay £25,000 profit at the end of the first year, £100,000 at the end of two years, £600,000 at the end of the third year, and £1,000,000 at the end of four years. Assume that nine percent per year is an appropriate discount rate for each investment. Also, assume a zero-scrap value for each investment at the end of four years. Determine which investment promises to be the better of the two for the company
