For a particular bond market, zero-coupon bonds with face value $100, re-deemable at par, are priced as follows: • bonds redeemable in exactly 1 year are priced at $98, • bonds redeemable in exactly 2 years are priced at $93, • bonds redeemable in exactly 3 years are priced at $89, • bonds redeemable in exactly 4 years are priced at $85.50. Find the yield to maturity of a bond redeemable at 103% of the face value in 4 years with annual coupons of 5%.

Calculating the risk premium on bonds The text presents a formula where (1+1) = (1-p)(1 +i+x) + p(0) where i is the nominal interest rate on a riskless bond x is the risk premium p is the probability of default (bankruptcy) If the probability of bankruptcy is zero, the rate of interest on the risky bond is When the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is 8% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 3%, the probability of bankruptcy is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) When the probability of bankruptcy is 6% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 4%, the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) When the probability of bankruptcy is 11% and the nominal policy rate of interest is 4%, the nominal interest rate for a risky borrower is %. (Round your response to two decimal places.) The formula assumes that payment upon default is zero. In fact, it is often positive. How would you change the formula in this case?…
