Consider the following $1,000 par value zero-coupon bonds: Bond Years to Maturity Yield to Maturity A 1 6.00% B 2 7.00% C 3 8.32% D 4 8.49% E 5 10.70% The expected 1-year interest rate 3 years from now should be.

Suppose a 10-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 is currently selling for 1,135.90, producing a nominal yield to maturity of 8%. However, the bond can be called after 5 years for a price of 1,050. (1) What is the bonds nominal yield to call (YTC)? (2) If you bought this bond, do you think you would be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC? Why?

Bond Yields and Rates of Return A 10-year, 12% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 may be called in 4 years at a call price of 1,060. The bond sells for 1,100. (Assume that the bond has just been issued.) a. What is the bonds yield to maturity? b. What is the bonds current yield? c. What is the bonds capital gain or loss yield? d. What is the bonds yield to call?

Consider the following $1,000 par value zero-coupon bonds: Bond A Years to Maturity B 1 2 YTM(%) 5.5% 6.5 C D 3 4 7.0 7.5 According to the expectations hypothesis, what is the market's expectation of the yield curve one year from now? Specifically, what are the expected values of next year's yields on bonds with maturities of (a) one year? (b) two years? (c) three years? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Bond Years to Maturity YTM (%) B 1 % C 2 % D 3 %
