5. You are a fixed income trader at Goldman Sachs. You purchase $1,000,000 in face value of a bond with a price of 102.50 and accrued interest (per 100 face) of 0.75 from a customer. The bond has a modified duration of 3.75. Goldman owns $25,000,000 in face value of the most recently issued 5 year Treasury note on its balance sheet. It has a modified duration of 4.5, a price of 101.75 and accrued interest (per 100 face) of 0.30. Calculate the amount of face value of that Treasury security you need to sell to hedge the interest rate risk of the bond you just purchased. Round to the nearest thousand since bond trade in 1000 face value increments. $1,000,000 $843,000 $833,000 $1,186,000
please comment on the following statement: “An investor who purchases the mortgage bonds of a corporation knows that should the corporation become bankrupt, mortgage bondholders will be paid in full before the common stockholders receive any proceeds.”
Suppose that a firm has 5 bondholders each expecting to be paid today their principal of $1 million each. The firm is in default, as its going-concern value is only $3 million, falling short of the $5 million to be repaid. The firm could liquidate and sell all of its assets for a value of $1 million, so that each bondholder would recover $200,000 on their claim. The firm offers its bondholders a debt-for-equity swap, but four of out the five bondholders must participate and become equityholders for the swap to succeed. In the table below, calculate the "lower bound" payoff if only four bondholders participate and the "upper bound" payoff if all five bondholders participate. The correct answer is lower bound=$500,000 and upper bound=$600,000

Elizabeth is trying to decide whether to buy a corporate bond that pays a 6.5% coupon or a muni bond that pays a 4.8% coupon. the bonds are comparable risk and maturity. if she has a 24% marginal tax rate, which bond should she buy and why? buy the corporate bond because its yield is greater than the muni bond yield buy the muni because she can avoid paying taxes on the interest. buy the corporate bond because her after-tax bond yield on the corporate bond is greater than the muni yield. she should be indifferent between the two bonds because they are both good investments. buy the muni because her return on the muni is greater than her after-tax return on the corporate bond
