You have just received an inheritance of $20,000. You wish to invest in fixed income securities such as bonds, which you think are less risky than stocks. After some research, you have narrowed down your choices to the following three fixed income securities:

One-year Treasury Bill:

Face value of $1000
Yield to maturity of 1.74%

Coupon Bond A:

Two years to maturity
Face value of $1000
Coupon rate of 3%, with semi-annual coupon payments
Price multiple of face value = 1.0189

Coupon Bond B:

Five years to maturity
Face value of $1000
Coupon rate of 3.5%, with annual coupon payments
Yield to maturity of 2.51%

All yields to maturity are compounded semi-annually.

         

Adjusting real interest rate for inflation:

(1 + real yield) = (1 + nominal yield) / (1 + inflation rate)

 

One Year Treasury Bill:

1 + real yield = 1.0174 / 1.015

1 + real yield = 1.002365

Real yield = 1.002365 – 1 = .2365%

 

Coupon Bond A.

1 + real yield = 1.0203 / 1.015

Real yield = .5221%

 

Coupon Bond B.

1+ real yield = 1.0251/1.015

Real yield = .9951%

                                                                                                                

e. If your personal real hurdle rate (the minimum rate of return required on investments) is 1%, which of the three fixed income securities would you choose to invest in?
