An investor is considering between purchasing a Treasury Bond and a bond from a large corporation. Both bonds have a face value of $1,000. The Treasury Bond has no risk, while the corporate bond has a 10% change of not repaying (a default). Both bonds are 2-year bonds and don't pay any coupons, only the final payment at maturity. a) Assuming that the interest rate in year 1 is 10% and in year 2 is expected to be 5%, what is the current price of each bond? Why are the values different? b) Now assume that the investor purchased the Treasury Bond a year has passed. How much can this bond be sold for if the interest rate is confirmed at 5%? c) Continue assuming that the investor purchased the Treasury Bond a year has passed. If the investor is offered the corporate bond for $800, should it be purchased? Explain.

Consider four different bonds all having the same yield-to-maturity. Bond A is a consol that pays $50 every period forever and is currently priced at $714.29. Bond B, C and D have the same par value of $1,000. However, they differ in their maturity and coupon rate. Bond B and C have a maturity of 5 years, while bond D has a maturity of 10years. Also, bond B and D have a coupon rate of 6%, while bond C has a coupon rate of 8%. [Hint: Coupons are paid annually to faciliate the calculations. Hence, coupon rates are also given annually. You may want to resort to the annuity formula to make your life easier.] a). Suppose the yield-to-maturity increases by 1%. Calculate the price changes on the individual bonds based on the two duration measures and based directly on the pricing formula. Compare your answers.b).

Similar to the mortgage pass-through security (PT), a competing bond has a par value of $100,000, a 4% coupon paid monthly, and a maturity of 258 months. Like most bonds, the payments on this bond are interest only. The current market rate for similar bonds is 3.5%, and prepayments on the mortgage pass through currently equal $100 per month. Assume rates immediately drop to 3%, and prepayments increase to $150 on the mortgage pass through as a result. What is the price of the bond today?

A 6-year bond with an annual coupon payment C (to be paid out starting a year from now), a face value of $1,000 and yield-to-maturity of 5%. Assume that compounding takes place annually.
