Bond J has a coupon rate of 4%. Bond K has a coupon rate of 14%. Both bonds have 17 years to maturity, a par value of $1000 and a yield to maturity of 8% , and both make semi annual payments. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2%, what is the percentage price change in these bonds? What if rates suddenly fall by 2% instead? What does this problem tell you about interest rate risk of lower coupon bonds?
Excel would be good. Thanks.
How do I solve question e?
Suppose that yield rates on zero coupon bonds are currently 26 for a one-year maturity, 3% for a two-year
maturity and 4.% for a three-year maturity (all effective annual rates).
Suppose that someone is willing to borrow money from you starting one year from now to be repaid three
years from now at an effective annual interest rate of 6.5146438635186%. Construct a transaction in which an
arbitrage gain can be obtained. What is your positive net gain for net investment of 0? (net cashflow at t-3)

Consider a hypothetical scenario where you have a default-free floating rate bond and a corporate floating rate bond with maturities of 5 years. The current default- free floating rate is 4% and the corporate floating rate is 6%. While the rates are quoted annually, both bonds pay coupons semi-annually. The face value of both bonds is $100. Describe step-by-step how you would set up the positions (long and short) to mimic the cash flows of a credit default swap. What would be the CDS rate? b. Assume the "loss given default” is $40 in the problem above. Suppose the loss given default changes and becomes $60. How would the CDS rate change given the increase in "loss given default." c. Suppose the probability of default before 5 years is 2% in the above problem. Now imagine that the probability of default falls to 1%. How would the CDS rate change?arrow_forward

The bond now has 10 years left until its maturity date, but the firm is having financial difficulty. Investors believe that the firm will be able to make interest rate payments only for the first eight years. Starting in year nine, the firm will not be able to pay any coupon. In total, the firm will miss four coupon payments. Also, investors believe that the firm will be forced into bankruptcy eventually and bondholders will receive only 75% of par value. a) If the required interest rate is 11%, what is the present value of the coupon payments that the firm is able to pay? What is the present value of the par that the firm is able to pay? b) What should the bond be selling at? c) What is the stated yield-to-maturity (YTM) of the bond?arrow_forward
