Using the information in these displays, recommend either Bond A or Bond B for purchase. Justify your choice. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent The non-arbitrage price of Bond A: $ The non-arbitrage price of Bond B: $ -Select- appears to be the better purchase.

O 1) if the coupon rate increases, the bond price will remain the same. 2) if the coupon rate increases, the bond price will decrease. 3) if the yield to maturity decreases, the bond price will decrease. O 4) if the term to maturity increases, the bond price will remain the same. O 5) if the yield to maturity increases, the bond price will remain the same.
The following is a list of prices for zero-coupon bonds of various maturities.

This question has TWO parts. Please be sure to scroll down and make sure you answer both parts. Which of the following bonds will be most sensitive to a change in interest rates if all bonds have the same initial yield to maturity? O A. a 10-year bond with a $1,000 face value whose coupon rate is 4.7% APR paid semiannually OB. a 20-year bond with a $1,000 face value whose coupon rate is 8.1% APR paid semiannually OC. a 20-year bond with a $1,000 face value whose coupon rate is 4.7% APR paid semiannually OD. a 10-year bond with a $1,000 face value whose coupon rate is 8.1% APR paid semiannually ... A measurement of the sensitivity of a bond's price to changes in interest rates is known as: (choose the most appropriate answer below) OA. Duration OB. Yield to Maturity (YTM) OC. Repayment Risk OD. Credit Risk
Assuming that the bond with the coupon you computed in b.4 were issued today, show to what the market price of that bond in b.4 would change if the bond yield to maturity fell by 2% shortly after it was issued at par value (with the change in the yield to maturity after issue occurring due to a decline in yields on 30-year T-bonds and/or a reduction in the company’s default risk) semi-annual payments and sells for its par value/principal amount of $1000 per bond? Market Rate = 4.97%-2%
Explain why are the bond prices for A and B different or the same? Explain your answer clearly.
The yield on a zero-coupon bond of maturity Tis equal to: the return on the bond each period, if the bond is held until maturity the expected return on the zero-coupon bond the forward rate for time T-1 the forward rate for time T the spot rate of interest
