In May 2000, the U.S. Treasury issued 30-year bonds with a coupon rate of 6.25%, paid semi-annually. A bond with a face value of $1,000 pays $31.25 (1,000 × 0.0625 / 2) every six months for the next 30 years; in May 2030, the bond also repays the principal amount, $1,000. 1. What is the value of the bond if, immediately after issue in May 2000, the 30-year interest rate increases to 7.5%? 2. What is the value of the bond if, immediately after issue in May 2000, the 30-year interest rate decreases to 5.0%? 3. On a graph in Excel, show how the value of the bond changes as the interest rate changes (plot the value as a function of the interest rate). At what interest rate is the value of the bond equal to its face value of $1,000?
A bond with par value of 1,000 has payment dates of April 15 and October 15. The nominal coupon rate convertible semiannually is 8%. The bond matures on October 15, 2012. On April 15, 2010, a coupon payment of 40 was made. The bond is sold 80 days later on the settlement date of July 4, 2010 to yield 6% convertible semiannually. There are 183 days between April 15, 2010 and October 15, 2010. Find the market price on July 4, 2010 if compound interest is used in finding the purchase price but simple interest is used in computing the accrued coupon.
Your company is issuing a bond issue with the following features. Each bond has a face value of $25,000, a 3% coupon rate, and 30 years to maturity. The bond makes coupon payments to its bondholders on January 1 and July 1 of each year. The current yield to maturity for the bond is 5%. Due to issue delays, the bond was issued on March 1, one month after the date used to calculate its first coupon payment (e.g. January 1). Use months, not days, in your interest calculations. Compute to the nearest dollar with no commas and dollar sign, e.g. 490389) А. Had the bond been issued on January 1, what would have been its selling price (e.g. clean price)? В. What was the selling price for the bond when it was issued (e.g. dirty price)?
