O If the market interest rate (i) increases today, the Price of a Bond (P) today will
decline.
The following are correct statements about the impact of Market Interest Rate (i*) on
value and return of a typical Coupon Bond, EXCEPT:
The YTM of a Bond and the Market Interest Rate (i*) are the same value, even in
the Short Term.
O For a long term bond, if the Market Interest rate (i*) is expected to increase, the
current Price of such Bond will Decline.
For a two period Bond, if the Market Interest rate (i*) is expected to increase in
the next period, the Expected Total Return (RET) on such bond will decline.
Long Term Bonds are considered more risky than Short Term bonds, in part due
to the risk associated to changes in future interest rates.

- Need help. Assume that securitization combined with borrowing and irrational exuberance in Hyperville have driven up the value of asset-backed financial securities at a geometric rate, specifically from $4 to $8 to $16 to $32 to $64 to $128 over a six-year time period. Over the same period, the value of the assets underlying the securities rose at an arithmetic rate from $4 to $6 to $8 to $10 to $12 to $14. If these patterns hold for decreases as well as for increases, by how much would the value of the financial securities decline if the value of the underlying asset suddenly and unexpectedly fell by $6?

Suppose that an oil well is expected to produce 100,000 barrels of oil during its first production year. However, its subsequent production (yield) is expected to decrease by 10% over the previous year's production. The oil well has a proven reserve of 1,000,000 barrels. Suppose that the price of oil is expected to be $30 per barrel for the next several years. What would be the present worth of the anticipated revenue stream at an interest rate of 12% compounded annually over the next seven years?arrow_forwardThe remarkable thing about the events described in the article is that the yield an the 3-month T-bill was briefly negative. To see how this could haroen, consider the relationship between bond prices and bond yields. A 3-month T-bill with a maturity value of $1,000 is just a piece of paper that entities the holder to $1,000 in three months. For example, if you were to buy a 3-month T-bill on September 24, 2008, with a maturity value of $1,000 and 90 days left to maturity, the U.S. government would pay you $1.000 on December 23, 2008. In general, the price of a bond is less than its maturity value. That is, if you are going to give up a certain amount of money for the duration of the bond, you expect to be paid for this loss of liquidity and compensated for inflation that could reduce the value of the repayment at the end of the period. Therefore, a piece of paper entitling you to $1,000 on December 23 would usually be worth less than $1,000 on September 24. The yield on a bond is a…arrow_forward
