Consider a 4-years bond with a 8% annual coupon rate and semi-annual payments. Let us suppose that the zero coupon curve rate today with annual compounding is given by the one in Table 1.
(a) Calculate the discount factors for all the previous maturities and then the
(b) Calculate the equivalent continuous compounding rates. What do you expect as result for the bond price with these rates? Should it be lower, higher or equal to the one in part (a)? Why? The equivalent continuous compounding rates should be lower than the annual rates. Why?

- A newly issued bond with 1 year to maturity has a price of $1,000, which equals its face value. The coupon rate is 15% and the probability of default in 1 year is 35%. The bond’s payoff in default will be 65% of its face value. a. Calculate the bond’s expected return. b. Use a data table to show the expected return as a function of the recovery percentage and the price of the bond. Please show how you got part B using all functions.Today, interest rates on 1-year T-bonds yield 1.7%, interest rates on 2-year T-bonds yield 2.5%, and interest rates on 3-year T-bonds yield 3.7%.a. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the yield on 1-year T-bonds one year from now? Be sure to use a geometric average in your calculations. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to four decimal places. b. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the yield on 2-year T-bonds one year from now? Be sure to use a geometric average in your calculations. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to four decimal places. c.

- What is the current value of a 30-year bond making semi-annual coupon payments that has a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 8%, if the YTM is 4%, how much does the bond currently sell for? Does the bond sell at a discount, premium, or at face value? Reference the below formulas when solving the problem above: PV = FV / (1+r)^t FV = PV(1+r)^t FVA = PMT(((1+r)^t) -1) / r FVA = PMT((1+(r/12)^t(12))-1)/(r/12) PVA = PMT(((1-(1+r)^-t) / r)) PVA = PMT((1-(1+(r/12))^-t(12)))/(r/12) Bo = PMT ((1-(1+r/2)^-t(2))) / r/2 + FV / (1+r/2)^t(2)Unlike the coupon interest rate, which is fixed, a bond's yield varies from day to day depending on market conditions. To be most useful, it should give us an estimate of the rate of return an investor would earn if that investor purchased the bond today and held it for its remaining life. There are three different yield calculations: Current yield, yield to maturity, and yield to call. A bond's current yield is calculated as the annual interest payment divided by the current price. Unlike the yield to maturity or the yield to call, it does not represent the actual return that investors should expect because it does not account for the capital gain or loss that will be realized if the bond is held until it matures or is called. This yield was popular before calculators and computers came along because it was easy to calculate; however, because it can be misleading, the yield to maturity and yield to call are more relevant. The yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of return earned on a…13. Consider a coupon bond with coupon payment=4.25, M=100, and n=2. Suppose ?1 = 4% and ?2 = 4.24%. Consider a forward contract for the delivery of the coupon bond in one period from today. Calculate the forward price using the following two approaches: 1) use the forward rate to price the forward contract; 2) use the cost of carry approach: spot-forward parity adjusted for the coupons.
- In calculating the current price of a bond paying semiannual coupons, one needs to O use double the number of years for the number of payments made. O use the semiannual coupon. O use the semiannual rate as the discount rate. O All of the above needs to be done.Consider the zero coupon Treasury bond yield curve. Suppose a 1 year bond has a yield of 2.13%. The yield curve slopes downwards between maturities of 1 year and 3 years, and then slopes upwards. Which of the following must be true? Group of answer choices A) The yield of a zero coupon bond with maturity 5 years is higher than 2.13%. B) A 1 year positive coupon bond must have a lower price than the zero coupon bond with the same maturity. C) Bond purchasers believe the Fed will decrease rates in the short run, and then increase them in the long run. D) The economy will be in a recession within 2 years. E) C and D.Suppose that the term structure of interest rates is: Interest rates are annual interest rates that are semi-annually compounded. Calculate the price and modified duration of a 1 -year bond with a 6% coupon rate, with coupons paid semi-annually. The bond has a face value of 100.0 Calculate the price and modified duration of a 2 -year bond with a 10% coupon rate, with coupons paid semi-annually. The bond has a face value of 100.0 Compare your results from 1 and 2 above. Which bond is more sensitive to changes in interest rates?
- EXPECTATIONS THEORY Assume that the real risk-free rate is 2% and that the risk premium is zero. If a 1-year Treasury bond yield is 5% and a 2-year Treasury bond yields 7%, what is the 1-year interest rate that is expected for Year 2? Calculate this yield using a geometric average. What inflation rate is expected during Year 2? Comment on why the average interest rate during the 2-year period differs from the 1-year interest rate expected for Year 2. 6-15 maturityLet's denote the price of a nonmaturing bond (called a consol) as P.
