Assume that a 10-year bond pays a $32 coupon every six months and will mature for $1,000. Also assume that the expected 6-month "current" yield on this bond is 3.16277103 percent. Given this information, you should be able to determine the yield to maturity for this bond. Now, assuming that the firm can call the bond in 5 years at a call price of $1,039, you should be able to determine the yield to call for this bond.

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
A bond has 10 years until maturity, a coupon rate of 9%, and sells for $1,100. Interest is paid annually. (Assume a face value of $1,000.) If the bond has a yield to maturity of 9% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. 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. 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.
You can enter into a forward contract for a bond with a maturity in one year months that pays a coupon payment of $25 every six months. The bond has a forward price of $930. The current zero coupon rate for 6 months is 4% annually and the zero coupon risk free rate for one year is 5% annually (assume continuous compounding). The current price of the bond is $943. Use the equilibrium forward price equation (F=Sert) adjusted for both coupon payments to see if an arbitrage opportunity exists. If arbitrage is possible, explain the arbitrage opportunity that exists and show how the profit can be earned – make sure to explain every step in detail in realizing the profit and establishing the arbitrage. If arbitrage is not possible, show how you know it is not possible. ANSWER IN TYPING OTHER WISE DOWNVOTE YOU

Calculate the duration of a coupon bond with the following features. What general conclusion can we make about the duration of coupon bonds relative to their time to maturity? Face value of $1000 Five years to maturity Coupon rate of 11%, paid semi-annually Current price of $970 (Hint: The effective annual yield should be 12.1604%.)
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)
A 30-year maturity bond making annual coupon payments with a coupon rate of 12% has duration of 11.54 years and convexity of 192.4. The bond currently sells at a yield to maturity of 8%. Use a financial calculator or spreadsheet to find the price of the bond if its yield to maturity falls to 7% or rises to 9%. What prices for the bond at these new yields would be predicted by the duration rule and the duration-with-convexity rule? What is the percentage error for each rule? What do you conclude about the accuracy of the two rules?
You buy a bond for $991 that has a coupon rate of 5.90% and a maturity of 10-years. A year later, the bond price is $1,176. (Assume a face value of $1,000 and annual coupon payments.) What is the new yield to maturity on the bond? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. What is your rate of return over the year? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.
A bond with face value $1399 and a term of 11 years pays quarterly coupons of 11% per annum. The bond is offered at a price of $1050. You are to enter the above values into a spreadsheet, along with - an initial wild guess at what the yield would be, and - a calculation of the bond price using your guess as the yield. (a) Use Excel’s “Solver” (which is different from “Goal Seek”) to solve for the actual yield that produces the correct bond price. Take a screen shot of your computer with “Solver” open showing clearly the entries that you put into Solver. Paste the screen shot into an application (like Paint), and save it as a (.png) file. Upload your screenshot below. (b) What is the yield calculated by Solver?

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.
