QWE wishes to issue a perpetual callable bond that pays 7.4% annual coupon. The current interest rate is 7.4%. Next year, the interest rate will be 3.3% or 8.9% with equal probability. The bond is callable at $1,050, and it will be called if the interest rate drops to 3.3%. What is the issue price of this callable bond?
Calculate the fair present values of the following bonds, all of which pay interest semiannually, have a face value of $1,000, have 12 years remaining to maturity, and have a required rate of return of 10 percent.
The bond has a 6 percent coupon rate.
The bond has a 8 percent coupon rate.
The bond has a 10 percent coupon rate.
What do your answers to parts (a) through (c) say about the relation between coupon rates and present values?
You have the choice between a convertible bond and a non-convertible bond for investment. Both offer you a coupon rate of 2.5% per year with semi-annual compounding. The remaining maturity for both bonds is 7.5 years. The price for the non-convertible bond is 99.7. Would you pay more or less for the convertible bond? Why?
