- Suppose a 10-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 is currently selling for 1,135.90, producing a nominal yield to maturity of 8%. However, the bond can be called after 5 years for a price of 1,050. (1) What is the bonds nominal yield to call (YTC)? (2) If you bought this bond, do you think you would be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC? Why?arrow_forwardGeneral Electric has just issued a callable (at par) 10-year, 5.7% coupon bond with annual coupon payments. The bond can be called at par in one year or anytime thereafter on a coupon payment date. It has a price of $102.43. a. What is the bond's yield to maturity? b. What is its yield to call? c.

- A bond has the following features: Coupon rate of interest (paid annually): 12 percent Principal: $1,000 Term to maturity: 11 years What will the holder receive when the bond matures? If the current rate of interest on comparable debt is 8 percent, what should be the price of this bond? Assume that the bond pays interest annually. Use Appendix B and Appendix D to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ Would you expect the firm to call this bond? Why? , since the bond is selling for a . If the bond has a sinking fund that requires the firm to set aside annually with a trustee sufficient funds to retire the entire issue at maturity, how much must the firm remit each year for eleven years if the funds earn 8 percent annually and there is $90 million outstanding? Use Appendix C to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $arrow_forwardA corporate bond is currently quoted at a price of $1197.93 and carries a 10 percent annual coupon rate.
