**Educational Content: Understanding Bonds**Suppose a bond with no expiration date has a face value of $10,000 and annually pays a fixed amount of interest of $950.**Exercise: Interest Rate Calculation**1. **Table Completion Task** - The task involves calculating either the interest rate that the bond would yield to a bond buyer at different bond prices or finding the bond prices at specific interest yields. **Instructions:** - Enter answers in the gray-shaded cells. - For bond prices, round to the nearest hundred dollars. - For interest yields, round to two decimal places. | Bond Price | Interest Yield, % | |------------|-------------------| | $8,000 | 10.56 | | $10,000 | | | $11,000 | 7.31 |2. **Analysis Question** - What generalization can be drawn from the completed table? - **Options:** - Bond prices and interest rates are inversely related. - Bond prices and interest rates are directly related. - There is insufficient data to make a generalization. - Bond prices and interest rates are not related.**Answer Explanation:**- As the bond price increases, the interest yield decreases, indicating an inverse relationship. This concept reflects the general principle that as the price of a bond increases, its yield to a buyer decreases, assuming the interest payment remains constant.This interactive exercise is designed to illustrate the relationship between bond prices and yields, an essential concept in financial markets.

Draw the supply and demand curves for the bond and explain what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of the bond for each of the following situations: a) The inflation rate is expected to increase. b) The wealth of economic agents in the economy increases, but at the same time, the Ministry of Finance increases the corporate income tax rate. c) The economy is experiencing expansion. d) The government runs a budget deficit. e) Most corporate bonds (ratings) have been downgraded
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? Please show all the steps and equations used to get to the answers.

Rework part (f), assuming that Annie holds the bond for 10 years and sells it when the required return is 7.0%. Compare your finding to that in part (f), and comment on the bond's maturity risk. PV= 1,000 N=10 I/Y= 7% Assume that Annie buys the bond at its current price of $983.80 and holds it until maturity. What will her current yield and yield to maturity (YTM) be, assuming annual interest? After evaluating all of the issues raised above, what recommendation would you give Annie with regard to her proposed investment in the Atilier Industries bonds?
Consider a bond without an expiration date that makes a fixed interest payment of $210 per year. Complete the following table by calculating the interest rate on the bond at different sale prices. (Hint: The effective interest rate on a bond is a ratio of the interest payment to the sale price of the bond times 100.) Price of Bond Interest Rate (Dollars) (Percent) 1,200 1,000 750 600 Use the blue points (circle symbol) and the preceding table to plot the relationship between bond prices and interest rates on the following graph. Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically. The line showing the relationship between bond prices and interest rates has a _____(POSITIVE/NEGATIVE) slope; in other words, there is _______(INVERSE / A DIRECT) relationship between bond prices and interest rates.

Explain what the term "bond price elasticity" means. Would bond price elasticity indicate that zero-coupon or high-coupon bonds with the same yield to maturity have a greater price sensitivity? Why? What does this mean for the market value volatility of zero-coupon Treasury bonds vs high-coupon Treasury bonds in mutual funds?
which of the following statement is true? interest rates on municipal bonds are on average higher than those of the U.S. government bonds with the same terms to maturity because municipal bonds are not as risky as the US government bonds. lower than those of the US government bonds with the same terms to maturity because municipal bonds are not as risky as the US government bonds lower than those of the US government bonds with the same terms to maturity because municipal bonds are not as liquid as the US government bonds. higer than those of the US government bonds with the same terms to maturity because municipal bonds are not as liquid as the US government bonds. lower than those of the US government bonds with the same terms to maturity because many local business prefers municipal bonds
