A bond has 12 years until maturity and a coupon rate of 8.2% payable semi-annually; and sells for $1,080. Face value of the bond is $1,000. What is the capital gain yield if you keep the bond for one year? You can assume the market rate is not changing.

1. You buy a 6 year bond with an annual 5% coupon at par value, $1000. If the yield to maturity at the end of the first year changes to 3%  what is the end of the year value of the bond(after the coupon payment, remember: bond value does not include this coupon)? 2. Calculate the value of a 6 year 2% coupon bond with semiannual payments, 1000 par.  Expected return is the risk free rate of 3%. 3. Price a 5 year 4% semiannual coupon bond if the yield to maturity is 6% (write the price as if par is 100, use 5 decimal places)

A 8-year zero-coupon bond has an interest rate of 7.7%.  What is it worth today? show your work! Answer:

Bond A has a coupon rate of 10.04 percent, a yield-to-maturity of 14.79 percent, and a face value of $1,000.00; matures in 8 years; and pays coupons annually with the next coupon expected in 1 year. What is (X+Y+Z) if X is the present value of any coupon payments expected to be made in 3 years from today, Y is the present value of any coupon payments expected to be made in 6 years from today, and Z is the present value of any coupon payments expected to be made in 9 years from today? An amount equal to or greater than $82.70 but less than $124.77 O An amount equal to or greater than $141.42 but less than $172.16 O An amount equal to or greater than $124.77 but less than $141.42 O An amount less than $82.70 or a rate greater than $229.36 An amount equal to or greater than $172.16 but less than $229.36

Suppose that you bought a 14% Drexler bond with time to maturity of 9 years for $1,379.75 (semiannual coupons, interest rate=8%). After another ½ year, you sold the bond. Assuming that the required rate of return remained at 8%, what would the selling price be? What is the rate of return from this investment? If the interest rate dropped by 25 basis points, what would the selling price be? What would the rate of return from this investment be?

A. (1) Suppose that you have a bond with a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 8% for one year and that you buy another one after one year. What will be your gain if the interest rate increases up to 10%? (2) Suppose that the expectations theory is true and that you can buy a three-year bond with an interest rate of 6% or three consecutive one-year bonds with interest rates of 4%, 5%, and 6%. Which option would you choose to undertake? Why? (3) One-year T-bill rates over the next five years are expected to be 4%, 5%, 6%, 6.5%, and 8%. If five-year T-bonds are yielding 13%, what is the liquidity premium on this bond?

. Bond Valuation. Consider a bond that matures in 3 years. The face value of this bond is $1000. The bond pays semi-annual coupons at a rate of 8%. (a) Calculate the price of this bond, assuming the yield to maturity is 8.5% (b) Suppose you hold this bond for two years and then sell it just after receiving a coupon payment. At the time of the sale, the yield to maturity has fallen to 7.8%. Calculate the price of the bond at the time of the sale. (c) What is your total dollar value and percent return over the holding period?

Suppose that you want to construct a 2-year maturity forward loan commencing in 3 years. The face value of each bond is $1,000. Maturity (Years) 1 2 3 4 5 Price $ 996.04 895.89 833.92 772.80 675.18 Required: a. Suppose that you buy today one 3-year maturity zero-coupon bond with face value $1,000. How many 5-year maturity zeros would you have to sell to make your initial cash flow equal to zero (specifically, what must be the total face value of those 5-year zeros)? b. What are the cash flows on this strategy in each year? c. What is the effective 2-year interest rate on the effective 3-year-ahead forward loan? d. & e. Confirm that the effective 2-year forward interest rate equals (1 + f4) ×(1 + f5)-1. You therefore can interpret the 2-year loan rate as a 2-year forward rate for the last two years. Alternatively, show that the effective 2-year forward rate equals (1 + y5) 15 + (1+y3) ³. - 1

1. A three-year bond with a $1,000 face-value and 10% coupon rate is sold for $1,000 today (Year 1).  If one year later (Year 2) the market interest rate decreases by 5%, then this bond will have a market price of $ ____ (round UP to the nearest integer) next year (Year 2).   2. True or False? The current interest rate on a 10-year coupon bond with face value = $1,000 and annual coupon rate = 3.25% is2.42%.  This implies the buyer of the bond will receive a $24.2 payment from the bond issuer every year before maturity while holding the bond.   3. A three-year bond with $1,000 face-value and 10% coupon rate is sold for $1,000 today (YEAR 1).  If one year later (Year 2) the market interest rate increases by 5%, then this bond will have a market price of $ ________ (round UP to the nearest integer) then (Year 2).

You are considering a 10-year, Rs. 1000 par value bond. Its coupon rate is 10% and interest is paidsemiannually. If you require an effective annual interest rate of 8%, how much should you be willingto pay for the bond? Is effective annual interest rate differing from coupon rate? Explain.
