---### Understanding Bond Pricing: An ExampleEven though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 27 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 3.6 percent paid annually.**Problem Statement:**If the yield to maturity is 3.2 percent, what is the current price of the bond?> **Note:** Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).**Input Box:**- Current price: [______]To solve this, you would use the present value formula for bond pricing which accounts for the annual coupon payments and the yield to maturity. The key is to ensure calculations are precise by not rounding too early in the process.### Explanation**No Graphs or Diagrams to Explain.**---

Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 15 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 7.3 percent paid annually. If the yield to maturity is 8.4 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Bond price
A financial institution invests in a zero-coupon bond with a maturity (principal) value of $500,000 and a maturity of 6 years. The bond is partially funded through a liability with a current market value of $325,000 and has a duration of 4 years. The current market rate is 5% and interest rates are expected to increase by 1% in the future. Which of the following statements is true (round your answer to 2 decimals)? None of the given answers. The current equity value of the position is $76,332.45 and if interest rates increase the equity value will decrease. The current equity value of the position is $45,556.15 and if interest rates increase the equity value will increase. The current equity value of the position is $ 48,107.70 and if interest rates increase the equity value will decrease.

You invested in a corporate bond that has a market price today of R1043.22 and a yield to maturity of 7%. This bond has a modified duration of 4.7. You believe that interest rates are going to rise by 195 basis points. What price do you expect your bond to trade at if this anticipated change in the yield occurs? Use the duration rule to calculate your answer, in Rands (R), correct to TWO decimal places.
A BBB-rated corporate bond has a yield to maturity of 9.2%. A U.S. Treasury security has a yield to maturity of 7.4%. These yields are quoted as APRS with semiannual compounding. Both bonds pay semi-annual coupons at a rate of 7.5% and have 5 years to maturity. a. What is the price (expressed as a percentage of the face value) of the Treasury bond? b. What is the price (expressed as a percentage of the face value) of the BBB-rated corporate bond? c. What is the credit spread on the BBB bonds? a. What is the price (expressed as a percentage of the face value) of the Treasury bond? The price of the Treasury bond as a percentage of face value is 68.53 %. (Round to three decimal places.)
