You just bought a newly issued bond which has a face value of $1,000 and pays its coupon once annually. Its coupon rate is 6%, maturity is 20 years and the yield to maturity for the bond is currently 8%. Suppose that one year after you bought the bond, the yield to maturity of the bond declines to 7%. Find the (before-tax) total dollar return (dollar returns from the coupon payment and capital gains) for the one-year investment period.
KroBank issues a zero coupon bond and it has to pay the face value of the bond of $100 M due in exactly five years. Assuming interest rates are currently at 8% p.a., which of the following is the best investment option for the bank to ensure it has enough funds to meet the liability in five years: Invest $100M today in coupon-paying bonds paying 8% p.a. annual coupons with maturity of 7 years (duration is 5.62 years), sell the bonds in year 5. Invest $100M today in coupon-paying bonds paying 8% p.a. annual coupons with maturity of 6 years (duration is 4.99 years), sell the bonds in year 5. Invest $100 M today in coupon-paying bonds paying 8% p.a. annual coupons with maturity of 5 years (duration is 4.31 years). Invest $100 M today in coupon-paying bonds paying 8% p.a. annual coupons with maturity of 8 years (duration is 6.21 years), sell the bonds in year 5.
Many companies look to re-finance their outstanding debt when interest rates fall significantly. Javert Toy Company has $50.00 million in debt outstanding that pays an 8.75% APR coupon. The debt has an average maturity of 10.00 years. The firm can refinance at an annual rate of 5.25%. That is, investors want 5.25% today for bonds of similar risk and maturity. How much will Javert save on interest payments with this re-finance? You can assume that Javert will issue debt to cover the full price of repurchasing the old debt from part A. (answer in terms of millions, so 1,000,000 would be 1.00) Submit Answer format: Currency: Round to: 4 decimal places.
Your company wants to pay off some long-term debt, so you decide to buy back some conventional 10-year bonds that you issued 8 years ago. The par value of the bonds is $1200, and the bonds were issued at a 5% coupon rate. Currently, other companies with the same risk profile as your company are offering new 2-year bonds at an interest rate of 8%. Assume that you are at the start of year 9, i.e., the 8th interest payment has been made. What is a fair offer to buy back the bonds? Answer:
Today you buy ten zero-coupon bonds which will mature in exactly 5 years. Each of these ten bonds has a face value of $100. The price you pay today for each of these bonds is $82. Assume a year goes by. Now there are only 4 years left before these bonds mature. You sell these bonds in the market for $75 per bond.
