YOUR BANK is thinking to issue a regular coupon bond (debenture) with following particulars: Maturity = 3 years, Coupon rate = 7.000%, Face value = $1,000.00, Coupon payments are annual and paid at the end of a year. In the fixed-income securities market, the yield curve for a bond with a similar default risk characteristics as one issued by YOUR BANK, is downward-upward sloping with the following interest rates per annum continuously compounded: Ro,1 = 8.000%, Ro,2 = 7.000%, R0,3 = 6.000%, R0,4 = 7.000%, and R0,5 = 7.500%, Where, the notation RoT is the spot-interest rate (at time t = 0) for T year maturity zero-coupon bond. As per you, what should be the issue (offer) price per bond of YOUR BANK in US dollars?

The Excel file Portfolio Bond Immunization Data contains information about three bonds. Use this data to: Yield to maturity (Expected/Current) 9% Number of Years to Future Liability 9.00 Future Liability $7,500 Bond 1 Bond 2 Bond 3 Coupon rate 6.00% 7.000% 8.00% Maturity 12 18 24 Face value 1,000 1,000 1,000 Compute the amount to be invested to meet the future liability noted in the data. This future liability is due in 9 years. Find a combination of Bond 1 and Bond 2 having a target duration of 9 years. Find a combination of Bond 1 and Bond 3 having a target duration of 9 years. Perform an analysis using a data table and an accompanying graph to determine which portfolio would be preferred to attempt to immunize this obligation. Construct a data table by varying the yield to maturity that shows the value of each portfolio at the end of 9 years.

Inflation is expected to be 2% this year, 3% next year, and 4% thereafter. Liquidity premium and real risk-free rate are 2% and 1%, respectively. Determine the Default risk premium.
Suppose you are considering two possible investment opportunities: a 12-year Treasury bond and a 7-year, A-rated corporate bond. The current real risk-free rate is 3%, and inflation is expected to be 2% for the next 2 years, 3% for the following 4 years, and 4% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated by this formula: MRP = 0.02(t - 1)%. The liquidity premium (LP) for the corporate bond is estimated to be 0.3%. You may determine the default risk premium (DRP), given the company's bond rating, from the following table. Remember to subtract the bond's LP from the corporate spread given in the table to arrive at the bond's DRP. Corporate Bond Yield Rate Spread = DRP + LP U.S. Treasury 0.83 % — AAA corporate 1.03 0.20 % AA corporate 1.39 0.56 A corporate 1.79 0.96 What yield would you predict for each of these two investments?
