Introduction:
A bond is a debt instrument with which the shareholder credits cash to an entity; this can be the government or an organization that scrounges finance for a distinct timeframe, at a predefined interest rate. Coupon rate is the expressed as an interest rate on a fixed income security, similar to a bond. It is also called as the interest rate that the bondholders get from their investment. It depends on the yield as on the day the bond is issued.

- Find the price of the bond. Solve the question without using Excel and provide the necessary calculations.arrow_forwardSuppose that a 1-year zero-coupon bond with face value $100 currently sells at $90.44, while a 2-year zero sells at $82.64. You are considering the purchase of a 2-year-maturity bond making annual coupon payments. The face value of the bond is $100, and the coupon rate is 12% per year. Required: a. What is the yield to maturity of the 2-year zero? b. What is the yield to maturity of the 2-year coupon bond? c. What is the forward rate for the second year? d. If the expectations hypothesis is accepted, what are (1) the expected price of the coupon bond at the end of the first year and (2) the expected holding-period return on the coupon bond over the first year? e. Will the expected rate of return be higher or lower if you accept the liquidity preference hypothesis? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.

(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal places. (e.g., 32.161)) b. What is the expected change in the price of the bond if interest rates are expected to decrease by 0.4 percent? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. a. Duration of bond 1.899 b.

If the bond's yield to maturity remains constant, then in 3 years, will the bond price be higher, lower, or unchanged? O a. Bond will sell for less than the par value, its price in 3 years will be lower. O b. Bond will sell for less than the par value, its price in 3 years will be higher. O. Bond will sell for less than the par value, its price in 3 years will be unchanged. O d. Bond will sell for more than the par value, its price in 3 years will be unchanged. O e. Bond will sell for more than the par value, its price in 3 years will be lower. O f. Bond will sell for more than the par value, its price in 3 years will be higher.arrow_forward
