Consider a bond with a 10% coupon and yield to maturity = 8%. If the bond’s yield to maturity remains constant, then in one year, will the bond price be higher, lower, or unchanged? Why?
1. Consider two bonds with a similar credit rating and pay the same coupon rate per annum. The terms to maturity for Bond A and Bond B are 5 years and 10 years respectively. If inflation rate is expected to increase in the near future and therefore leads to an increase in interest rate, what is the effect on the bond prices? Which bond is likely to experience a larger effect due to the increase in interest rate? Briefly explain your answer.
Suppose you purchase a 30-year, zero-coupon bond with a yield to maturity of 6%. You hold the bond for five years before selling it. a. If the bond's yield to maturity is 6% when you sell it, what is the internal rate of return of your investment? b. If the bond's yield to maturity is 7% when you sell it, what is the internal rate of return of your investment? c. If the bond's yield to maturity is 5% when you sell it, what is the internal rate of return of your investment? d. Even if a bond has no chance of default, is your investment risk free if you plan to sell it before it matures? Explain. Note: Assume annual compounding.
You are considering two bonds. Bond A has a 9% annual coupon while Bond B has a 6% annual coupon. Both bonds have a 7% yield to maturity, and the YTM is expected to remain constant. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? State your reason for the answer. The price of Bond A will decrease over time, but the price of Bond B will increase over time. The price of Bond B will decrease over time, but the price of Bond A will increase over time. The prices of both bonds will remain unchanged. The prices of both bonds will increase by 7% per year. The prices of both bonds will increase by 9% per year.
Suppose that the yield curve shows that the one-year bond yield is 8 percent, the two-year yield is 7 percent, and the three-year yield is 7 percent. Assume that the risk premium on the one-year bond is zero, the risk premium on the two-year bond is 1 percent, and the risk premium on the three-year bond is 2 percent. a. What are the expected one-year interest rates next year and the following year? The expected one-year interest rate next year = The expected one-year interest rate the following year b. If the risk premiums were all zero, as in the expectations hypothesis, what would the slope of the yield curve be? The slope of the yield curve would be (Click to select) % %
