Concept explainers
A
To calculate: The percentage change in price for the CIC and PTR bonds.
Introduction: The percentage change in price of the bond is product of the effective time period with yield to maturity period of the particular bond.
B
To calculate: The 6-month horizon returns for bond CIC and PTR.
Introduction: The holding period of the bond is the ratio of the sum of the prices to the initial price of the bond. The sum of the price consist the end value, coupon value and initial
C
To explain: Different variation of the actual price of the bonds.
Introduction: The interest rate goes down by 50 points. Due to this there is a change in actual price of the bonds but change is different in both the bonds.

- Find the Macaulay duration and the modified duration of a 15-year, 9.0% corporate bond priced to yield 7.0%. According to the modified duration of this bond, how much of a price change would this bond incur if market yields rose to 8.0%? Using annual compounding, calculate the price of this bond in one year if rates do rise to 8.0%. How does this price change compare to that predicted by the modified duration? Explain the difference. The Macaulay duration is nothing years. (Round to two decimal places.) The modified duration is nothing years. (Round to two decimal places.) If market yields rose to 8.0%, the change would be nothing%. (Round to two decimal places.) Using annual compounding, the price of this bond in 1 year if rates do rise to 8.0% is $nothing. (Round to the nearest cent.) The actual percentage change in bond price is nothing%. (Round to two decimal places.) Which of the following is true? (Select the best choice below.) A.…arrow_forwardA fixed income analyst has made the following assessments: The risk-free rate is expected to remain at 2.5% for the next 10 year. Inflation is expected to be 3% this year, 4% next year and 5% a year thereafter. The maturity risk-premium is 0.1% (t-1), where t= maturity of the bond. A 5-year corporate bond currently yield 8.5 percent. What will be the yield on the bond one year from now, if the above assessments are correct, and the bond's default premium and liquidity premium remain unchanged?arrow_forwardConsider a bond (with par value = $1,000) paying a coupon rate of 10% per year semiannually when the market interest rate is only 4% per half-year. The bond has three years until maturity. Required: a. Find the bond's price today and six months from now after the next coupon is paid. b. What is the total (6-month) rate of return on the bond? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A Required B Find the bond's price today and six months from now after the next coupon is paid. Note: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Current price Price after six months $ $ 1,052.42 1,044.52arrow_forward
- An investor is considering the purchase of a(n) 8.125%, 15-year corporate bond that's being priced to yield 10.125%. She thinks that in a year, this bond will be priced in the market to yield 9.125%. Using annual compounding, find the price of the bond today and in 1 year. Next, find the holding period return on this investment, assuming that the investor's expectations are borne out.arrow_forwardThe duration of a soon to be approved loan of $8 million is four years. The 99th percentile increase in risk premium for bonds belonging to the same risk category of the loan has been estimated to be 5.5 percent. What is the capital (loan) risk of the loan if the current average level of interest rates for this category of bonds is 12 percent? Round your answer to the nearest two decimal places.arrow_forwardAn analyst evaluating securities has obtained the following information. The real rate of interest is 2.9% and is expected to remain constant for the next 5 years. Inflation is expected to be 2% next year, 3% the following year, 4% the third year, and 5% every year thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.1 \times (t-1)%, where t = number of years to maturity. The liquidity premium on relevant 5-year securities is 0.5% and the default risk premium on relevant 5 - year securities is 1%. a. What is the yield on a 1-year T-bill? Round your answer to one decimal place. % b. What is the yield on a 5-year T-bond? Round your answer to one decimal place. % c. What is the yield on a 5-year corporate bond? Round your answer to one decimal place. %arrow_forward
- The interest rate on a 5-year Treasury bond is 3%. Investors expect that the one-year interest rate will be 1% in the coming year, 2% in the year after that, and will average 4% per year over the next three years. What is the term premium? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardYou wish to sell a bond that has a face valueof $5,000. The bond bears an interest rate of 7.5%,which is payable quarterly. Six years ago, the bondwas purchased at $4,800. At least a 9% annual returnon the investment is desired. What must be the minimum selling price of the bond now in order to makethe desired return on the investment?arrow_forwardAn investor is considering the purchase of a(n) 6.500%, 15-year corporate bond that's being priced to yield 8.500%. She thinks that in a year, this bond will be priced in the market to yield 7.500%. Using annual compounding, find the price of the bond today and in 1 year. Next, find the holding period return on this investment, assuming that the investor's expectations are borne out.arrow_forward
- 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) decrease from 20 to 16 percent. a. What is the bond price at 20 percent? b. What is the bond price at 16 percent? c. What would be your percentage return on the investment if you bought when rates were 20 percent and sold when rates were 16 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)arrow_forwardConsider a long forward contract to purchase a coupon-bearing bond whose current price is $910. We will suppose that the forward contract matures in 9 months. We will also suppose that a coupon payment of $45 is expected after 4 months. We assume that the 4-month and 9-month risk-free interest rates (continuously compounded) are, respectively, 3% and 4% per annum. Explain how an arbitrageur can make profits from this scenario.arrow_forwardMichael Prendergast is considering purchasing a Kite bond with semiannual payments having an annual coupon rate fixed at 6 percent. Its face value of $1,000 is payable in 11 years and the bond trades at $1,032.52. What is the expected annual yield on the Kite bond? (Use a Financial calculator to arrive at the answers. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final answer to 2 decimal places.) Annual yield on the Kite bond %arrow_forward
