Similar to the mortgage pass-through security (PT), a competing bond has a par value of $100,000, a 4% coupon paid monthly, and a maturity of 258 months. Like most bonds, the payments on this bond are interest only. The current market rate for similar bonds is 3.5%, and prepayments on the mortgage pass through currently equal $100 per month. Assume rates immediately drop to 3%, and prepayments increase to $150 on the mortgage pass through as a result. What is the price of the bond today? Multiple Choice $87,347 $119,766 $115,830

At issue, bond market investors require a 11.0 percent interest rate on both bonds. Required: a. What is the initial price on each bond? b. Now assume that both bonds promise interest at 9.5 percent, compounded semiannually. What will be the initial price for each bond? c. If market interest rates fall to 8.5 percent at the end of the fifth year, what will be the value of each bond, assuming annual payments as in (a) (state both as a percentage of par value and actual dollar value)?
Bandon Manufacturing intends to issue callable, perpetual bonds with annual coupon payments and a par value of $1,000. The bonds are callable at $1,260. One-year interest rates are 9 percent.
