1. Bandon Manufacturing intends to issue callable, perpetual bonds with annual coupon payments and a par value of $1,000. The bonds are callable at $1,175. One-year interest rates are 9 percent. There is a 60 percent probability that long- term interest rates one year from today will be 10 percent and a 40 percent probability that they will be 8 percent. Assume that if interest rates fall, the bonds will be called. What coupon rate should the bonds have in order to sell at par value?

Suppose Home Depot issues 30-year bonds on which it pays a 4.00% (nominal) interest rate. Further, suppose that both Home Depot and the purchasers of its bonds anticipate inflation will average 2.00% during the life of the loan. Now suppose the inflation rate after the loan is made (i.e. after the bond is purchased) is actually 1.00% per annum. It follows that the actual real rate of interest is and, ceteris paribus, are (is) better off than anticipated as a result of the difference between the anticipated and the actual rate of inflation. Select one: a. 2.00%, Bondholders b. 2.00%, Home Depot O c. 3.00%, Bondholders d. 3.00%, Home Depot

A company is planning to issue perpetual, callable bonds with a coupon rate of 8% paid annually, and a par value of $1,000. The nominal interest rate on these bonds will be 9% for the next year. In one year, the nominal rate on the bonds will be either 10% with probability 0.6, or 8% with probability 0.4. The bonds are callable at $1200. Assuming the bonds are called if the interest rate decreases, what is the price of the callable bond today?
FYI bonds pay $40 in interest every six months and will mature in 10 years. a. Calculate the price if the yield to maturity on the bonds is 7, 8, and 9 percent, respectively. b. Explain the impact on price if the required rate of return decreases.
