Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5MC
- (1) What would be the value of the bond described in Part d if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13% return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond?
- (2) What would happen to the
bond’s value if inflation fell and rd declined to 7%? Would we now have a premium or a discount bond? - (3) What would happen to the value of the 10-year bond over time if the required
rate of return remained at 13%? If it remained at 7%? (Hint: With a financial calculator, enter PMT, I/YR, FV, and N, and then change N to see what happens to the PV as the bond approaches maturity.)

Hilton Hotels Corporation has a convertible bond issue outstanding. Each bond, with a face value of $1,000, can be converted into common shares at a rate of 61.2983 shares of stock per $1,000 face value bond (the conversion rate), or $16.316 per share.

Consider an investor who, on January 1, 2022, purchases a TIPS bond with an original principal of $100,000, an 8 percent annual (or 4 percent semiannual) coupon rate, and 10 years to maturity.
If the semiannual inflation rate during the first six months is 0.3 percent, calculate the principal amount used to determine the first coupon payment and the first coupon payment (paid on June 30, 2022).
From your answer to part a, calculate the inflation-adjusted principal at the beginning of the second six months.
Suppose that the semiannual inflation rate for the second six-month period is 1 percent. Calculate the inflation-adjusted principal at the end of the second six months (on December 31, 2022) and the coupon payment to the investor for the second six-month period.
A municipal bond you are considering as an investment currently pays a yield of 6.75 percent.

- Suppose three countries’ per capita Gross Domestic Products (GDPs) are £1000, £2000, and £3000. What is the average of each pair of countries’ GDPs per capita? (b) What is the difference between each of the individual observations and the overall average? What is the sum of these differences? (c) Suppose instead of three countries, we had a sample of 100 countries with the same sample average GDP per capita as the overall average for the three observations above, with the standard deviation of these 100 observations being £1000. Form the 95% confidence interval for the population mean. (d) What might explain differences in GDP across countries?
