Question: Expected interest rate - Lourdes Corporation's 15% coupon rate, semiannual payment, $1,000 par value bonds, which mature in 10 years, are callable 3 years from today at $1,025. They sell at a price of $1,247.30, and the yield curve is flat. Assume that interest rates are expected to remain at their current level. A. What is the best estimate of these bonds' remaining life? Round your answer to two decimal places. B. If Lourdes plans to raise additional capital and wants to use debt financing, what coupon rate would it have to set in order to issue new bonds at par? -1. Since Lourdes wishes to issue new bonds at par value, the coupon rate set should be the same as the current yield on the existing bonds. -2. Since interest rates have risen since the bond was first issued, the coupon rate should be set at a rate above the current coupon rate. -3. Since the bonds are selling at a premium, the coupon rate should be set at the going rate, which is the YTC. 4. Since the bonds are selling at a premium, the coupon rate should be set at the going rate, which is the YTM. -5. Since Lourdes wishes to issue new bonds at par value, the coupon rate set should be the same as that on the existing bonds.

Yield to Maturity and Yield to Call Arnot International’s bonds have a current market price of $1,200. The bonds have an 11% annual coupon payment, a $1,000 face value, and 10 years left until maturity. The bonds may be called in 5 years at 109% of face value (call price = $1,090). What is the yield to maturity? What is the yield to call if they are called in 5 years? Which yield might investors expect to earn on these bonds, and why? The bond’s indenture indicates that the call provision gives the firm the right to call them at the end of each year beginning in Year 5. In Year 5, they may be called at 109% of face value, but in each of the next 4 years the call percentage will decline by 1 percentage point. Thus, in Year 6 they may be called at 108% of face value, in Year 7 they may be called at 107% of face value, and so on. If the yield curve is horizontal and interest rates remain at their current level, when is the latest that investors might expect the firm to call the bonds?
