Bonds often pay a coupon twice a year. For the valuation of bonds that make semiannual payments, the number of periods doubles, whereas the amount of cash flow decreases by half. Using the values of cash flows and number of periods, the valuation model is adjusted accordingly. Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon US Treasury note with three years to maturity has a coupon rate of 6%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 9.90%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note: $567,545.29 $765,735.71 $900,865.54 $1,081,038.65 Based on your calculations and understanding of semiannual coupon bonds, complete the following statement: Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-note’s price is expected to ( Increase, Decrease).

Treasury spot rates are as follows in today's market: Maturity (years) 1 2 3 Spot rate 1.9% 2.8% 3% One year ago, a 3-year Treasury note ($1,000 face value, 5.2% coupon rate and pays annual coupon) was issued. This security paid out its first coupon yesterday. Based on the spot rates in the table, this security should be fairly priced TODAY at $1,046.5.
