Summary Introduction

Current price of the bond:

Price of the bond is the present value of the future cash flows received from the bond.

Current yield: It is the ratio of the coupon payment to current price of the bond. It is used to measure the current rate of return earned by the investor from the bonds.

Capital gain: Capital gain is the difference between the yield to maturity and current yield.

_________________________________

Calculate the current price of the bond as follows:

Current price=Coupon ×(1(1+Rate)Periods)Rate+Face value(1+Rate)Periods

Calculate the current yield as follows:

Current yield=CouponCurrent price

Calculate the capital gain yield as follows:

Capital gain yield=Yield to maturityCurrent yield

D system has outstanding bonds that has face value of $1000 and coupon rate of 7%. Interest is paid semiannually on this bond. Yield to maturity is 10% and remaining time to maturity is 11 years

An insurance company has liabilities of £7 million due in 10 years' time and £9 million due in 17 years' time. The assets of the company consist of two zero-coupon bonds, one paying £X million in 7 years' time and the other paying £Y million in 20 years' time. The current interest rate is 6% per annum effective. Find the nominal value of X (i.e. the amount, IN MILLIONS, that bond X pays in 7 year's time) such that the first two conditions for Redington's theory of immunisation are satisfied. Express your answer to THREE DECIMAL PLACES.
An individual is investing in a market where spot rates and forward rates apply. In this market, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 for two years, he will receive £7.4 at time t=2 years. Alternatively, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 at time t=1 for either one year or two years, he will receive £7.5 or £7.3 at times t=2 and t=3, respectively. Calculate the price per £5,000 nominal that the individual should pay for a fixed-interest bond bearing annual interest of 6.6% and is redeemable after 3 years at 110%. State your answer at 2 decimal places.
The one-year forward rates of interest, f+, are given by: . fo = 5.06%, f₁ = 6.38%, and f2 = 5.73%. Calculate, to 4 decimal places (in percentages), the three-year par yield.
