A bond with a face value of $1,000 has 8 years until maturity, has a coupon rate of 8%, and sells for $1,100. What is the yield to maturity if interest is paid once a year? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 4 decimal places. What is the yield to maturity if interest is paid semiannually? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 4 decimal places.
A zero-coupon bond is a bond that is sold for less than its face value (that is, it is discounted) and has no periodic interest payments. Instead, the bond is redeemed for its face value at maturity. Thus, in this sense, interest is paid at maturity. Suppose that a zero-coupon bond sells for $8,800 and can be redeemed in 20-years for its face value of $48,000. What is the annual compound rate of return? Annual compound rate = % (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Consider a bond with a face value of $2,000 that pays a coupon of $50 for 1 year (that is, you will receive both the face value and one coupon payment next year). Suppose the bond is purchased at $2,000. What is the yield to maturity of the bond? 2.5% 25% 1.025% 1.25%
Pacific Amalgamated (PA) issues a coupon bond that makes an interest payment (F) of €100 each year for five years and then repays the face value (V) of €1,000 at the end of that time. Assume the interest rate (i) is 2%. Which of the following formulas do investors need to use to determine the present value of P = € of this coupon bond? A single payment of the face value at maturity The sum of fixed payments The sum of fixed payments and a single payment of the face value at maturity Pacific Amalgamated (PA) issues 10-year bonds in 2017 with a €1,000 face value and a €50 coupon. The interest rate at which PA issues these bonds is When the bond reaches maturity in 2021, how much will each investor holding one of these PA bonds receive? The initial investment of €1,000 plus €500 worth of coupons (€50 per year x 10 years) €500 worth of coupons (€50 per year x 10 years) The initial investment of €1,000 plus €50 for the 10th coupon Assume interest rates rise dramatically. The market price of…
A 30-year maturity bond with face value of $1,000 makes semiannual coupon payments and has a coupon rate of 8%. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 3 decimal places. What is the yield to maturity if the bond is selling for $900? What is the yield to maturity if the bond is selling for $1,000? What is the yield to maturity if the bond is selling for $1,100?
A semiannual payment bond with a $1,000 par has a 7 percent quoted coupon rate, a 7 percent promised YTM, and 10 years to maturity. What is the bond's duration? If interest rates are expected to rise by one half of a percent, by how much would you expect the price to change using the modified duration equation? How much would you expect the price to change using convexity? You need to use the bond duration and convexity calculator to answer this question.
Suppose that your forecasted interest rates on one- year T-bill issued by Bangladesh Bank are 9.25%, 10.15%, 11.50%, 12.25%, 13.10% and 8,20% in year 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 respectively. Additionally, you will receive a liquidity premium of 0.25% each year for holding longer term bond . Would you be indifferent between purchasing these T-bills each year for the next 5 years and buying a 5-year Sanchayapatra that yields 13.11% interest rate after five years? Briefly illustrate your answer using the relevant theory of term structure.
If market expectations are accurate, what are the expected yields to maturity on 1-and 2-year zero coupon bonds next year? And if you purchase a 3-year zero-coupon bond now, what is the expected total rate ofreturn over the next year assuming that you will sell the bond at the expected price(price that matches the expected yield in the previous part)? Ignore taxes.
A corporate bond pays 6% of its face value once per year. If this $10,000 10-year bond sells now for $10,450, what yield will be earned on this bond? Assume the bond will be redeemed at the end of 10 years for $10,000. The yield to maturity is %. (Round to two decimal places.)
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?
If a bank offers an investment opportunity for which the interest is compounded quarterly, and you will earn an annual effective interest rate of 19.25%. Determine the nominal interest rate. Note: when calculating interest rates, do not convert to a percent. Leave it in decimal format and round to 4 places after the decimal. So if you think the answer is 3.45678%, then leave it as a proportion as 0.0345678 and then round to 0.0346.
Recently, the European Central Bank (ECU) has been worried about inflation and thus needs to make a decision about interest rates, and thus the resulting bond prices. Assume we are talking about Euron an Savings Bonds (ESB) and you are given the following information: The European Savings Bond (ESB) has no expiration date: The ESB price =$1,000 the ESB has a fixed annual interest payment =$10, ' e ESB annual interest rate =10 percent. If the price of the ESB increases to $5,000, the interest rate will Multiple Choice ◻ rise to 50 percent. ◻ fall to 4 percent. ◻ fall to 5 percent. ◻ rise to 12 percent. ◻ fall to 2 percent.
