- Consider a U.S. government bond with as 63% coupon that expires in December 2020.The Par Value of the bond is $1,000. Coupon payments are made semiannually (June 30 and December 31 for this particular bond). On January 1, 2016, the required yield is 5%. What is the current value? Find the present value (as of January 1, 2016), of a 8% coupon bond with semi- annual payments, and a maturity date of December 2020 if the YTM is 5%. Now assume that the required yield is 11%. How does this change the bond’s price?arrow_forwardA bond with a 7% coupon rate makes payments on January 15 and July 15 of each year (182-day coupon period). On January 30, the ask price for the bond was reported as 100:02. On April 15, it was selling at an ask price of 101:04. What is the bond's invoice price on January 30? If you purchased the bond from a dealer on April 15, what price would you have to pay for it? (Note: Bond quotes are always at a percentage of the face value. Therefore, 103:05 must be read as 103.05% of face value, so the quoted price is $1,030.5.)arrow_forwardA bond with a face value of $1,000 was issued at par (sold for its face value) 5 years ago when market interest rates were 3.6% p.a. (compounded annually). It now has exactly 3 years remaining until it matures. If it pays coupon interest annually, and current market rates are 2.4% p.a. (B.E.Y. convention – all maturities), calculate the duration of the bond.arrow_forward
- The Exley Company bonds are currently selling for $1,041.30. This is a 50-year bond issued 17 years ago, which pays semi-annual interest. Other bonds in the market similar to Exley Company's bond pay a market interest rate of 7.75%. What is the coupon rate?arrow_forwardOn March 13, 2030, you purchase a $1000 par value corporate bond that has a 12% and makes semiannual payments. The bond last paid a coupon on February 15, 2030 and is due to pay its next coupon on August 15, 2030. Assume that the bond’s day-count convention is the standard one for corporate bonds and note that 2030 is not a leap year. What is the accrued interest on this bond?arrow_forwardA few years ago, Zabar Technology issued an annual bond that has a face value equal to $1,000 and pays investors $40 interest semiannually. The bond has four years remaining until maturity. If an investor requires a 5% rate of return to invest in this bond, what is the maximum price he or she should be willing to pay to purchase the bond today? O $1,106.38 O $964.54 O $1,107.55 $935.37arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forward44arrow_forwardFind the total proceeds (in $) from the sale of 30 bonds with a coupon rate of 6.75 and a current price of 96.975.
