A newly issued bond with 1 year to maturity has a price of $1,000, which equals its face value. The coupon rate is 15% and the probability of default in 1 year is 35%. The bond’s payoff in default will be 65% of its face value. a. Calculate the bond’s expected return. b. Use a data table to show the expected return as a function of the recovery percentage and the price of the bond. Please show how you got part B using all functions.

Suppose that a bond with an 8% coupon rate and semiannual coupons has a face value of $1,000, 10 years to maturity. The required rate (Yield to Maturity, YTM) is 5%. Draw a timeline to identify the amount and timing of cash flows obtained with the bond and calculate the bond value. Redo part (a) if YTM is 10%. Next, use the results of parts (a) and (b) to show the relationship among YTM, coupon rate and bond value.
Suppose that the interest rate on one-year bonds is currently 4 percent and is expected to be 5 percent in one year and 6 percent in two years. Using the expectations hypothesis, compute the yields on two- and three-year bonds and plot the yield curve.
The following table summarizes prices of various default-free zero-coupon bonds (expressed as a percentage of the face value):. a. Compute the yield to maturity for each bond. b. Plot the zero-coupon yield curve (for the first five years). c. Is the yield curve upward sloping, downward sloping, or flat? a. Compute the yield to maturity for each bond. The yield on the 1-year bond is%. (Round to two decimal places.)

Consider a bond with a face value of $2,000 that pays a coupon of $150 for 10 years. Suppose the bond is purchased at $500, and can be resold next year for $400. What is the rate of return of the bond? What is the yield to maturity of the bond?

Calculate the duration for a $1000, 4-year bond with a 4.5% annual coupon, currently selling at par. Use the duration to estimate the percentage change in the bond’s price for a decrease in the market interest rate to 3.5%. Use the bond price volatility equation to compute the bond price volatility. Compare the result with the estimated percentage change in the bond price.
If you have a coupon bond, its face value is $1,000 and the coupon rate is 4%. Complete the following table, then calculate the rate of return for the bond.

Consider a bond with a face value of $5,000 that pays a coupon of $200 for 5 years. Suppose the bond is purchased at $5,000, and can be resold next year for $4,800. What is the rate of return and the yield to maturity of the bond? rate of return = 4%, yield to maturity = 0% rate of return = 0%, yield to maturity = 4% rate of return = 8%, yield to maturity = - 4% rate of return = 4%, yield to maturity = 4%
Assume that a RMI,000 par value bond has a coupon rate of 5% and will mature in 10 years. It has a current price of RMS10.34. Given this information, answer the following questions. i) Calculate the yield of maturity of the bond. ii) Calculate the current yield of the bond. ii) Discuss why the current yield differs from the yield of maturity.
Consider a bond that has a price of $1046.76, a coupon rate of 8.8%, a yield to maturity of 8.1%, a face value of $1000, and 10 years to maturity. What is the current yield?

A bond has a Macaulay duration of 12.00 and is priced to yield 10.0%. If interest rates go up so that the yield goes to 10.5%, what will be the percentage change in the price of the bond? Now, if the yield on this bond goes down to 9.5%, what will be the bond's percentage change in price? Comment on your findings.
