9. A 20-year maturity bond with a 10% coupon rate (paid annually) currently sells at a yield to maturity of 9%. A portfolio manager with a 2-year horizon needs to forecast the total return on the bond over the coming 2 years. In 2 years, the bond will have an 18-year maturity. The analyst forecasts that 2 years from now, 18-year bonds will sell at yields to maturity of 8%, and that coupon payments can be reinvested in short- term securities over the coming 2 years at a rate of 7%. What will be the rate of return if the manager forecasts that in 2 years the yield on 18-year bonds will be 10%, and that the reinvestment rate for coupons will be 8%?

A bond with a face value of $1,000 has 10 years until maturity, carries a coupon rate of 9%, and sells for $1,100. Interest is paid annually. Assume a face value of $1,000 and annual coupon payments. 1) If the bond has a yield to maturity of 9% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? 2) What will be the rate of return on the bond? 3) If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the real rate of return on the bond? Please show workings with formulas.
Consider the following annual coupon bond with a face value of $1,000, a price of $986.24, a coupon rate of 5.9% and a maturity of 30 years. Right after you purchase the bond, market interest rates change to 12% and remain constant for the next ten years. What would be your realized yield to maturity if you sold the bond after 10 years?
Consider a coupon bond with a 5% coupon rate. It will mature in 2 years and its yield to maturity is 10%. If its yield to maturity increases to 12% over the course of the next year, what is the return on the bond assuming it will be held for 1 year?
A bond with a face value of $1,000 and a 10% coupon rate is going to mature in 15 years. Assuming that the coupon is paid annually, determine the value of this bond if your cost of debt is 13%. Now, there is a zero coupon bond with similar risk and same maturity selling for $180 currently. The face value of this zero coupon bond is also $1,000. Assume that the market price of the bond in part a is $820, which bond (the coupon bond in part a and zero coupon bond in part b) should you invest in, or both, or none of them ? Explain briefly whether a zero-coupon bond will be selling (i) at a premium, and (ii) at par. How are the cash flows of a zero-coupon bond different from those of a coupon bond ? Explain the implication(s) of the difference(s) with respect to their effective maturity.
You buy a semiannually paying coupon bond with a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 8%. The bond matures in 20 years from today. Currently, the bond has a yield to maturity of 9%. Suppose that the yield to maturity changes to 10% six months later. What is your rate of return from your investment over the six months?
Consider a bond at par initially issued for a 30-year term. Its nominal rate (annual coupon) is 5%. You buy this bond when it still has 20 years of residual maturity. At that time, the market rate is 8%. A few days after your purchase, the market rate drops to 6% (this assumption is then always verified). You will sell your bond 12 years later (8 years before maturity). What will have been the overall annual profitability of your investment?
A fixed income analyst has made the following assessments: The risk-free rate is expected to remain at 2.5% for the next 10 year. Inflation is expected to be 3% this year, 4% next year and 5% a year thereafter. The maturity risk-premium is 0.1% (t-1), where t= maturity of the bond. A 5-year corporate bond currently yield 8.5 percent. What will be the yield on the bond one year from now, if the above assessments are correct, and the bond's default premium and liquidity premium remain unchanged?
You want to form a bond portfolio that pays $100 every six months, for the next year. That is, $100 in 0.5 years and $100 in 1 year. To achieve this goal, you will purchase Bonds A and B, which have a face value of $100 and pay semi-annual coupons. The following information is available: Bond A • Coupon rate (APR): 4.3% Maturity: 1 year Bond B • Coupon rate (APR): 9.5% • Maturity: 1 year Calculate the number of units you must buy of Bond B to achieve your goal. Express your answer as a number with two decimals. E.g. If your answer is 102.544, then enter it as 102.54
Consider a bond that has a face value of $1,000. The bond has a maturity of 25 years and pays coupons of 5.5% per annum. If the bond's required rate of return is 8.0% per annum nominal, and coupons are received semi-annually, what is the current market price of the bond?
Consider a coupon bond with a 5% coupon rate. It will mature in one year and its yield to maturity is 10%. If the 1-year interest rate increases to 12% over the course of the year, what is the return on the bond?
A bond has 10 years until maturity, a coupon rate of 8.1%, and sells for $1,190. Interest is paid annually. (Assume a face value of $1,000.) a. If the bond has a yield to maturity of 9.9% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to nearest whole number. Price b. What will be the rate of return on the bond? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Rate of return % c. If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the real rate of return on the bond? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Real rate of return %
Consider a 10-year bond with current price of $98.4 and a duration of 9.1 years. Suppose the yield on the bond is 9.6% per year with continuous compounding. What is the predicted change in the price (in dollars) of the bond if the yield increases by 0.4%? (required precision: 0.01 +/- 0.01)
