You buy a bond that pays annual interest payments of 7% of the bond’s face value of $1000.  You initially pay $950 for the bond.  You receive an annual interest payment after one year, then sell the bond for $880.  What is your total rate of return on the investment, expressed as a percentage of the purchase price?

The interest rate on a 5-year Treasury bond is 3%. Investors expect that the one-year interest rate will be 1% in the coming year, 2% in the year after that, and will average 4% per year over the next three years. What is the term premium? Explain your answer.

If a If a bond pays $90 interest annually, matures after ten years and costs $1,100. What is the current Yield.

1. Suppose the interest rate on a one-year bond today is 6% per year, the interest rate on a one-year bond one year from now is expected to be 4% per year, and the interest rate on a one-year bond two years from now is expected to be 3% per year. The term premium on a two-year bond is 0.5% per year and the term premium on a three-year bond is 1.0 % per year. In equilibrium, what is the interest rate today on a two-year bond? On a three-year bond? What is the shape of the yield curve?

Consider a bond that promises the following cash ows. The required discount rate is 12%.     Year 0      1        2 3        4 Promised Payments 160    170 180    230     You plan to buy this bond, hold it for 2.5 years, and then sell the bond.   a.What total cash will you receive from the bond after the 2.5 years? Assume that periodic cash   ows  are reinvested at 12%.                                                                                                        b.Assuming all market interest rates are 12%, what is the duration of this bond?

assume the interest rate on a 1-year t bond is currently 7% and the rate on a 2-year bond is 9%. If the maturity risk premium is .5% what is a reasonable forecast of the rate on a 1 year T bond next year. Round to 2 decimals places

A $1,000 bond has a coupon of 4 percent and matures after tên years. ASsume that the bond pays interest annually. a. What would be the bond's price if comparable debt yields 6 percent? Use Appendix B and Appendix D to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ b. What would be the price if comparable debt yields 6 percent and the bond matures after five years? Use Appendix B and Appendix D to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. c. Why are the prices different in a and b? The price of the bond in a is -Select- v than the price of the bond in b as the principal payment of the bond in a is -Select- v than the principal payment of the bond in b (in time). d. What are the current yields and the yields to maturity in a and b? Round your answers to two decimal places. The bond matures after ten years: CY: % YTM: % The bond matures after five years: CY: YTM:

Assume that a 5-year bond pays interest of $90 once a year (1 payment / year) and will mature for $1,000. Also assume that the yield to maturity on this bond is currently 10 percent. Given this information, determine the duration of this bond. Enter your answer in decimal format, truncated to 2 decimal places. For example, if your answer is 7.1186 years, enter "7.11".
