Problem 2: Complex Systems has an outstanding issue of $1,000-par-value bonds with a 12% coupon interest rate. The issue pays interest annually and has 11years remaining to its maturity date. If bonds of similar risk are currently earning a rate of return of 7%, how much should the Complex Systems bond sell for today? a. b. Describe the two possible reasons why the rate on similar-risk bonds is below the coupon interest rate on the Complex Systems bond. If the required return were at 12% instead of 7%, what would be the current value of Complex Systems' bond? Contrast this finding with your findings in part a and discuss. с.

(Related to Checkpoint 9.3) (Bond valuation) Doisneau 22-year bonds have an annual coupon interest of 15 percent, make interest payments on a semiannual basis, and have a $1,000 par value. If the bonds are trading with a market's required yield to maturity of 12 percent, are these premium or discount bonds? Explain your answer. What is the price of the bonds? a. If the bonds are trading with a yield to maturity of 12%, then (Select the best choice below.) A. the bonds should be selling at a premium because the bond's coupon rate is greater than the yield to maturity of similar bonds. B. there is not enough information to judge the value of the bonds. OC. the bonds should be selling at par because the bond's coupon rate is equal to the yield to maturity of similar bonds. OD. the bonds should be selling at a discount because the bond's coupon rate is less than the yield to maturity of similar bonds. b. The price of the bonds is $(Round to the nearest cent.)
Conceptual Overview: Explore the value of fixed-interest coupon bonds of different terms. This graph shows the value of 10% coupon bonds of different terms across differing market interest rates. Each bond pays INT = $100 at the end of each year and returns M = $1,000 at maturity. For comparison, the blue line depicts the value of a one-year bond. The term of the other bond in years may be changed using the slider.

Need help with C Approximate yield to maturity An investor must choose between two bonds: Bond A pays $90 annual interest and has a market value of $815. It has 15 years to maturity. Bond B pays $81 annual interest and has a market value of $700. It has eight years to maturity. Assume the par value of the bonds is $1,000. a. Compute the current yield on both bonds. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) Current Yield Bond A11.04% Bond B11.57% c. A drawback of current yield is that it does not consider the total life of the bond. For example, the approximate yield to maturity on Bond A is 11.51 percent. What is the approximate yield to maturity on Bond B? The exact yield to maturity?
