Suppose you bought a 7 percent annual coupon, a 20-year bond last year when it was first issued. You paid 1,000 for a 1,000 face value bond. The yield-to-maturity of your bond was therefore 7%. If interest rates suddenly rise to 15 percent this year, and hence your bond now has to deliver a 15% yield to maturity. What is your one-year rate of return if you sell the bond this year? O-49.58% -8% +49.58% +8% -42.59%
You bought one of Elkins Manufacturing Co.'s 6.8 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $1,054. These bonds make annual payments, mature 15 years from now, and have a par value of $1,000. Suppose you decide to sell your bonds today, when the required return on the bonds is 5 percent. If the inflation rate was 3.6 percent over the past year, what would be your total real return on the investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Total real return %
I am thinking about buying a $100 heineken corporate bond. The bond was issued on Nov. 2005 with a coupon rate of 7.5% per year and it matures on Oct. 31, 2025. If I purchase the bond on Nov. 1, 2021 for $93.12, will I earn a return at least 8.0% per year (nominal) on the investment? Assume coupons are paid twice per year (on April 30 and October 31). You must draw a cash flow diagram to get full credit for this problem.
Your company currently has $1,000 par, 5.5% coupon bonds with 10 years to maturity and a price of $1,080. If you want to issue new 10-year coupon bonds at par, what coupon rate do you need to set? Assume that for both bonds, the next coupon payment is due in exactly six months. You need to set a coupon rate of %. (Round to two decimal places.)
You purchased an annual-interest coupon bond one year ago with 7 years remaining to maturity at the time of purchase. The coupon interest rate is 10%, and par value is $1,000. At the time you purchased the bond, the yield to maturity was 9%. If you sold the bond after receiving the first interest payment and the bond's yield to maturity had changed to 8%, your annual total rate of return on holding the bond for that year would have been O 12.58% O 13.53% O4.01% O 14.64% 5.12%
A company sold bonds a few years ago which currently have 30 years remaining to maturity. The coupon rate on these bonds is 7 percent. The bonds make semiannual coupon payments. Today you can buy each of these bonds for $1,070. Calculate the yield to maturity. In this problem, the yield to maturity is solved the easiest using the financial calculator. I will need to use [ Select ] [ Select ] for "N" (number of coupons) and [ Select ] [ Select ] for "PMT" (coupon). In this problem, my numerical answer for the yield to maturity is [ Select ] . [ Select ]
Two years ago, you invested in a zero coupon bond with a face value $1,000 and 2-year term to maturity for $910. Today, at the date of maturity, the bond issuer announces that default occurs with a renegotiation price $940. If you accept the renegotiation price at the date of maturity, what is your realized annual rate of return?
You bought one of Great White Shark Repellant Co.'s 7.4 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $1,041. These bonds make annual payments and mature 20 years from now. Suppose you decide to sell your bonds today, when the required return on the bonds is 6 percent. The bonds have a par value of $1,000. If the inflation rate was 4 percent over the past year, what was your total real return on investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Refer to Table 10-1, which is based on bonds paying 10 percent interest for 20 years. Assume interest rates in the market (yield to maturity) decline from 12 percent to 8 percent. a. What is the bond price at 12 percent? b. What is the bond price at 8 percent? c. What would be your percentage return on investment if you bought when rates were 12 percent and sold when rates were 8 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
You purchased a zero coupon bond one year ago for $120.36. The bond has a par value of $1,000 and the market interest rate is now 13 percent. If the bond had 17 years to maturity when you originally purchased it, what was your total return for the past year? Assume semiannual compounding.
Your company currently has $1,000 a par, 5% coupon bonds with 10 years to maturity and a price of$1,085. If you want to issue new 10-year coupon bonds at par, what coupon rate do you need to set? Assume that for both bonds, the next coupon payment is due in exactly six months. You need to set a coupon rate of ______%. (Round to two decimal places.)
Taussig Corp.'s bonds currently sell for $1,220. They have a 6.35% annual coupon rate and a 20-year maturity, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,050. What rate of return should an investor expect to earn if he or she purchases these bonds?
