The duration of a two-year Treasury bond with a 10 percent semiannual coupon selling at par b. The duration of a three-year Treasury bond with a 10 percent semiannual coupon selling at par c. The duration of a four-year Treasury bond with a 10 percent semiannual coupon selling at par

Please see attached. Definitions: Zero-coupon bond is a bond that pays no coupons over its maturity. Yield to maturity (YTM) is the return the bond holder receives on the bond if held to maturity. Par value is the principal amount to be repaid at the maturity of the bond. Maturity date is the expiration date of the bond on which the final interest payment is made as well as the principal repayment.

The current zero-coupon yield curve for risk-free bonds is as follows What is the price per $100 face value of a four-year, zero-coupon, risk-free bond? The price per $100 face value of the four-year, zero-coupon, risk-free bond is $_______(Round to the nearest cent.)
(i) Two types of risks faced by bodholders are interest rate risks and default risks? What are interest rate risks and default risks, and why might a bond exhibit more or less of these risks? (ii) You see a bond with the following characteristics: bond matures in 10 years coupon rate = 7% APR compounded semi-annually, paid semi-annually face value = $1000 bond price = $900 What is the yield to maturity (YTM) of this bond, stated as an APR with semi-annual compounding?
Calculate YTC using a financial calculator by entering the number of payment periods until call for N, the price of the bond for PV, the interest payments for PMT, and the call price for FV. Then you can solve for 1/YR YTC. Again, remember you need to make the appropriate adjustments for a semiannual bond and realize that the calculated 1/YR is on a periodic basis so you will need to multiply the rate by 2 to obtain the annual rate. In addition, you need to make sure that the signs for PMT and FV are identical and the opposite sign is used for PV; otherwise, your answer will be incorrect. A company is more likely to call its bonds if they are able to replace their current high-coupon debt with less expensive financing. A bond is more likely to be called if its price is above par-because this means that the going market interest rate is less than its coupon rate.

Suppose a seven-year, $1,000 bond with a 7.9% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading with a yield to maturity of 6.71%. a. Is this bond currently trading at a discount, at par, or at a premium? Explain. b. If the yield to maturity of the bond rises to 7.28% (APR with semiannual compounding), what price will the bond trade for? a. Is this bond currently trading at a discount, at par, or at a premium? Explain. (Select the best choice below.) A. Because the yield to maturity is less than the coupon rate, the bond is trading at a discount. B. Because the yield to maturity is less than the coupon rate, the bond is trading at a premium. C. Because the yield to maturity is greater than the coupon rate, the bond is trading at a premium. D. Because the yield to maturity is greater than the coupon rate, the bond is trading at par. b. If the yield to maturity of the bond rises to 7.28% (APR with semiannual compounding), what price will the bond trade for? The new price of the bond is $…
