The YTM on a bond is the interest rate you earn on your investment if interest rates don't change. If you actually sell the bond before it matures, your realized return is known as the holding period yield (HPY). (Round the final answers to 2 decimal places.) a.

A corporate bond returns 12 percent of its cost (in present value terms) in the first year, 11 percent in the second year, 10 percent in the third year, and the remainder in the fourth year. What is the bond's duration in years? Please show all the steps including the equation.
You have really gone above and beyond in spending on your fraternity initiation party and ran up $11, 000 on your parent's credit card. You apologize to them and promise to pay $350 per month towards paying off the balance fully. You know that the credit card interest rate is 24%. How long will it take you to fully pay off your good times? a. A bit over 4 years b. About 2 and a half years c. About 3 years d. It depends
Suppose that you are considering an investment, which would require you to pay $1,000 up front (today), and you would receive a payment of $100 per year, for 5 years, beginning one year from now. One year after your fifth payment, you would then have $800 paid to you as a final payment. Assume that the interest rate is equal to 5%. Round all answers to two decimal places. 5. Calculate the Present Value (PV) of the cost and each of the payments for the investment. Does this investment have a positive or negative present value? Should you make this investment? 6. How much would the initial cost ($1,000) need to change for you to be exactly indifferent about this investment? (i.e. you receive the same return for making this investment as you do for not making this investment?)
▼ Cash Flow Present Discounted Value Interest Rate is based on the notion that a dollar paid in the future is less valuable than a dollar paid today. Part 2 The present value of a loan in which $3000 is to be paid out a year from today with the interest rate equal to 3% is $.(Round your response to the neareast two decimal place) Part 3 If a loan is paid after two years, and the amount $3000 is to be paid then with a corresponding 1% interest rate, the present value of the loan is $.(Round your response to the neareast two decimal place)

Define the term Yield to Maturity?
Suppose that a 2-year zero-coupon bond with face value $1,000 currently sells at $840, while a 1-year zero-coupon bond with face value $1,000 currently sells at $920. You are considering the purchase of a 2-year coupon bond that pays coupon annually. The face value of this coupon bond is $1,000 and coupon rate is 12% per year. Required: a. What is the yield to maturity of the 2-year zero-coupon bonds? b. What is the current price of the 2-year coupon bond? c. What is the forward rate of the second year? d. If the expectation hypothesis is accepted, what are (1) the expected price of the coupon bond at the end of the first year and (2) the expected holding period return on the coupon bond over the first year? e. Will the expected rate of return be higher or lower if you accept the liquidity preference hypothesis?
Now that young King Solomon has inherited the kingdom of Israel, and a massive amount of wealth that he can invest, he wants to plan for his "retirement." Since he doesn't know how long he'll live, and data on life expectancy is scarce, he reasons that he just wants a regular "cash flow" over the course of his life. With that in mind, how many shekels would he need to deposit at 20 percent interest compounded every year in order to be able to withdraw 50 shekels at the end of every year for seventy years?
The real risk free rate is 3.3%. Inflation is expected to be 3.05% this year, 4.05% next year, and 2.1% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.05 x (t-1), wheret - number of years to maturity. What is the yield on a 7-year Treasury note?
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%
What should be the time to maturity, IN YEARS, of the bond that has 7.7% of coupon rate and has the yield to maturity of 10% if it sells for $868? show calculations 6.97 3.09 8.74 7.92 3.06
Suppose you think if you were to retire right now, you would have needed $50,000 each year to supplement your social security and maintain your desired lifestyle. But because there is on average 3% annual inflation, when you retire 30 years from now, you need more than $50,000 per year to maintain the lifestyle you like. How much will be equivalent to $50,000 at retirement time when adjusted for inflation? What will be the face value of the bond that yields the equivalent of $50,000, found in #4 of Part B in coupon payment? How much annual payment in the retirement account is needed to accumulate the amount needed to purchase the bond when retiring? What is the purchase power of the amount that will be received by your inheritors, measured in the current value of $ at the time of opening the retirement account? (Hint: First calculate what the future value will be in 30 years, which is equivalent to $50,000 now and then solve the rest of the problem).
