Lantech investor is deciding between two bonds: Bond A pay $72 annual interest and has a market value of $925. It has 10 years to maturity. Bond B pays $62 annual interest and has a market value of $910. It has two years to maturity. Par value of the bonds is $1,000.
A. What is the current yield on both bonds?
B. Which bond should be chosen and why?
C. A drawback of current yield is that is doesn't consider the total life of the bond. E.g. Yield to maturity on Bond A is 8.33 percent. What is the yield to maturity on Bond B?
D. Is your answer changed from parts B and C based on which bond should be chosen?
Consider two types of bonds: A 10 year to maturity corporate bond and a 10 year to maturity Treasury bond. We know that Corporate Bonds have default risk.
Discuss the impact on the markets for these two type of bonds & on the risk premium when there is a FALL in the
risk of corporate default?
Provide a DISCUSSION of the impact and ILLUSTRATE the impact graphically using two diagrams, one for corporate bonds
and one for Treasuries. The diagrams should show the impact on each yield and the impact on the risk premium [label your diagram clearly to illustrate the old premium vs. the
new premium].
hint: draw your diagrams side by side, so you can show the risk premiums as done in lecture.
Please help me answer this question - there are two parts: What will be the price of these bonds if they receive either an A or a AA rating? See image for details.
