- You have a bond with the following features: - Semi-annual coupon payments. - Coupon rate 7.60%. - Face value $1,000. - 3.5 years to maturity. - Current market price $1,130. Requirements (A, B, and C are independent): 1. Calculate the duration and modified duration for this bond. Duration ___ Mduration ___ 2. Now, let’s assume the modified duration of this bond is 3 years. If the yield increases by 30 bps (basis points), what will the new price of the bond using modified duration? 3. If the yield drops by 75 bps, what is the actual new price of the bond?← Suppose a seven-year, $1,000 bond with an 8.4% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading with a yield to maturity of 6.65%. a. Is this bond currently trading at a discount, at par, or at a premium? Explain. b. If the yield to maturity of the bond rises to 7.05% (APR with semiannual compounding), what price will the bond trade for? a. Is this bond currently trading at a discount, at par, or at a premium? Explain. (Select the best choice below.) O A. Because the yield to maturity is less than the coupon rate, the bond is trading at a premium. B. Because the yield to maturity is greater than the coupon rate, the bond is trading at par. OC. Because the yield to maturity is greater than the coupon rate, the bond is trading at a premium. D. Because the yield to maturity is less than the coupon rate, the bond is trading at a discount.Suppose a ten-year, $1,000 bond with an 8.8% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading for $1,034.29. a. What is the bond's yield to maturity (expressed as an APR with semiannual compounding)? b. If the bond's yield to maturity changes to 9.2% APR, what will be the bond's price?

Inflation is expected to be 1.60% per year for the next two years and 3.90% per year for the next three years. The maturity risk premium is 0.1 x (t-1) %, where t is number of years to maturity, a liquidity premium is 0.45%, and the default risk premium for a corporate bond is 1.40%, The average inflation during the first 4 years is What is the yield on a 4-year Treasury bond?

Does the bond sell at a discount, premium, or at face value? Reference the below formulas when solving the problem above: PV = FV / (1+r)^t FV = PV(1+r)^t FVA = PMT(((1+r)^t) -1) / r FVA = PMT((1+(r/12)^t(12))-1)/(r/12) PVA = PMT(((1-(1+r)^-t) / r)) PVA = PMT((1-(1+(r/12))^-t(12)))/(r/12) Bo = PMT ((1-(1+r/2)^-t(2))) / r/2 + FV / (1+r/2)^t(2)
- Consider a bond with a face value of $1,000 that sells for an initial price of $700. It will pay no coupons for the first nine years and will then pay 11% coupons for the remaining 29 years. Choose an equation showing the relationship between the price of the bond, the coupon (in dollars), and the yield to maturity. O A. B. O C.

To be most useful, it should give us an estimate of the rate of return an investor would earn if that investor purchased the bond today and held it for its remaining life. There are three different yield calculations: Current yield, yield to maturity, and yield to call. A bond's current yield is calculated as the annual interest payment divided by the current price. Unlike the yield to maturity or the yield to call, it does not represent the actual return that investors should expect because it does not account for the capital gain or loss that will be realized if the bond is held until it matures or is called. This yield was popular before calculators and computers came along because it was easy to calculate; however, because it can be misleading, the yield to maturity and yield to call are more relevant. The yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of return earned on a…Consider the zero coupon Treasury bond yield curve. Suppose a 1 year bond has a yield of 2.13%. The yield curve slopes downwards between maturities of 1 year and 3 years, and then slopes upwards. Which of the following must be true? Group of answer choices A) The yield of a zero coupon bond with maturity 5 years is higher than 2.13%. B) A 1 year positive coupon bond must have a lower price than the zero coupon bond with the same maturity. C) Bond purchasers believe the Fed will decrease rates in the short run, and then increase them in the long run. D) The economy will be in a recession within 2 years. E) C and D.
