Suppose a bond with no expiration date has a face value of $10,000 and annually pays a fixed amount of interest of $950. a. In the table provided below, calculate and enter either the interest rate that the bond would yield to a bond buyer at each of the bond prices listed or the bond price at each of the interest yields shown. Instructions: Enter your answers in the gray-shaded cells. For bond prices, round your answers to the nearest hundred dollars. For interest yields, round your answers to 2 decimal places. Bond Price Interest Yield, % $8,500 10 $10,500 $11,500 7.04 b. What generalization can you draw from the completed table? O Bond prices and interest rates are directly related. O There is insufficient data to make a generalization. O Bond prices and interest rates are inversely related. O Bond prices and interest rates are not related.

The table below shows current and expected future one-year interest rates, as well as current interest rates on multiyear bonds. Use the table to calculate the liquidity premium for each multiyear bond. One-Year Bond Year Rate 1 2.00% 2 4.00% 3 5.00% 4 8.00% 5 11.00% Multiyear Bond Rate 2.00% 5.00% 7.00% 9.00% 10.00% The liquidity premiums for each year are given as: (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.) 11 = 0% 21 = 131 = 55 141 = = % do do do do % % %
Currently a three-month Treasury bill has a yield of 5% while the yield on a ten-year Treasury bond is 4.7%. What is the risk premium of an A-rated ten-year corporate bond with a yield of 5.5%? 0.5% 5.5% 0.8% 1.17%
Inflationary expectations in the economy increase rapidly, evoking a much stronger response from issuers of bonds than lenders of bonds. Using the model of supply and demand for bonds, illustrate and explain the impact of this increase in inflationary expectation on equilibrium bond price and interest rate.

What does it mean to say that a bond has a value less than one for its relative yield differential? What might account for such a difference?
The demand D (in billions of £) for a bond with coupon rate 5% and face value FV = 1000, and two years to maturity as a function of its price P is D = 4000 − 2P. The supply in (billions of £)as a function of the price of the bond is S = 2P + 400. b) Suppose that the yield to maturity of the bond is i = 0.05. What is the quantity demanded/supplied at this interest rate? What happens to the demand/supply of the bond as the interest rate increases? Explain why. c) What is the equilibrium interest rate? d) Suppose that the bond trades at premium. Is there excess demand or supply? Explain. e) There is a business cycle contraction, so both supply and demand shifts. After the shift, the new demand curve is given by: D = 4000 + X − 2P , whereas the new supply curve is S = 2P + 200. For which values of X will the interest increase/decrease? Which values of X are in line with empirical data?
Suppose a new process was developed that could be used to make oil out of seawater. The equipment required is quite expensive, but it would in time lead to low prices for gasoline, electricity, and other types of energy. What effect would this have on interest rates? (Hint: which direction does demand curve shift? How does it change savings and investment in the economy?)
E3 The demand curve and supply curve for one-year discount bonds were estimated using the following equations: Bd Price=-2/5Quantity+990 Bs Price=Quantity+500 As the stock market continued to rise, the Federal Reserve felt the need to increase the interest rates. As a result, the new market interest rate increased to 19.65%, but the equilibrium quantity remained unchanged. What are the new demand and supply equations? Assume parallel shifts in the equations
Suppose the value of a new financial security increases with time, such that one dollar of the financial currency at year 0 is worth V(t) = exp{2/t-0.15f} dollars at time t. If the interest rate is 10 percent, after how many years should the financial asset be sold in order to maximize the PDV of the sale? (NOTE: Write your answer in number format, with 2 decimal places of precision level; do not write your answer as a fraction. Add a leading zero and trailing zeros when needed. Use a period for the decimal separator and a comma to separate groups of thousands.)
Calculate the future value of $500 four years from now based on the following scenarios. Instructions: Enter your answers rounded to 2 decimal places. a. What is the future value of $500 four years from now if the interest rate is 5 percent? %24 b. Suppose that the interest rate is 7 percent. What is the future value of the payment four years from now?
Inflationary expectations in the economy increase rapidly, evoking a much stronger response from issuers of bonds than borrowers of bonds. Using the model of supply and demand for bonds, illustrate and explain the impact of this increase in inflationary expectation on equilibrium bond price and interest rate.
