What would be the value of the bond described in Part d if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13% return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond? What would happen to the bond’s value if inflation fell and rd declined to 7%? Would we now have a premium or a discount bond? What would happen to the value of the 10-year bond over time if the required rate of return remained at 13%? If it remained at 7%? (Hint: With a financial calculator, enter PMT, I/YR, FV, and N, and then change N to see what happens to the PV as the bond approaches maturity.)
A 20-year bond has a coupon rate of 8 percent, and another bond of the same maturity has a coupon rate of 15 percent. If the bonds are alike in all other respects, which will have the greater relative market price decline if interest rates increase sharply? Why?
Consider the following bonds: •Bond A: A 2-year zero-coupon bond with a face value of $100 and 6% YTM. •Bond B: A 2-year par-value bond with a face value of $100 and 6% coupon rate. *Bond C: A 2-year par-value bond with a face value of $100 and 7% coupon rate. Suppose the yield curve shifts upwards by one percent. Which bond among bonds A, B, and C will experience the largest percentage price change? Which will have the lowest percentage price change? O a. Bond A; Bond C O b. Bond A; Bond B O c. Bond B; Bond C O d. Bond C; Bond B
Consider a bond that has a current value of $1,081.11, a face value of $1,000.00, a coupon rate of 10% and five years remaining to maturity.a. What is the bond’s yield-to-maturity today?b. If the bond’s yield does not change, what is its value one year from today? Please solve both parts

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The shorter the time to maturity, the greater the change in the value of a bond in response to a given change in interest rates, other things held constant. b. You hold two bonds. One is a 10-year, zero coupon, bond and the other is a 10-year bond that pays a 6% annual coupon. The same market rate, 6%, applies to both bonds. If the market rate rises from the current level, the zero coupon bond will experience the smaller percentage decline. c. You hold two bonds, a 10-year, zero coupon, issue and a 10-year bond that pays a 6% annual coupon. The same market rate, 6%, applies to both bonds. If the market rate rises from its current level, the zero coupon bond will experience the larger percentage decline. d. The longer the time to maturity, the smaller the change in the value of a bond in response to a given change in interest rates. e. The time to maturity does not affect…
A newly issued bond has a maturity of 10 years and pays a 7% coupon rate (with coupon payments coming once annually). The bond sells at par value. (i) What are the convexity and the duration of the bond? (ii) Find the actual price of the bond assuming that its yield to maturity immediately increase from 7% to 8% (with maturity still 10 years). (iii) What price would be predicted by the duration rule? What is the percentage error of that rule? (iv) What price would be predicted by the duration-with-convexity rule? What is the percentage error of that rule?
1. Consider two bonds with a similar credit rating and pay the same coupon rate per annum. The terms to maturity for Bond A and Bond B are 5 years and 10 years respectively. If inflation rate is expected to increase in the near future and therefore leads to an increase in interest rate, what is the effect on the bond prices? Which bond is likely to experience a larger effect due to the increase in interest rate? Briefly explain your answer.
Consider a bond that has a current value of $1,081.11, a face value of $1,000.00, a coupon rate of 10% and five years remaining to maturity.a. What is the bond’s yield-to-maturity today?b. If the bond’s yield does not change, what is its value one year from today?
er the following: i. Two bonds, both with 10 years to maturity, have the same yield to maturity (equal to 5%) but different coupon rates. Coupon payments are annual. Bond A has a Macaulay duration of 7.06 and bond B has a Macaulay duration of 8.76. Based on this information, explain which bond you think has the lower coupon rate. Be sure to present your reasoning. Bond A in part (i) has a face value of $100 and a coupon rate of 4.5%. What is its price?
Consider a $1,000-par-value Bond with the following characteristics: a current market price of $761, 12 years until maturity, and an 8% coupon rate. We want to determine the discount rate that sets the present value of the bond’s expected future cash-flow stream to the bond’s current market price. You are required to determine the discount rate that equates the present value of the bond?
