Just enter a number - do not add a % symbol or any other punctuation.)arrow_forwardAn insurance company is thinking about purchasing bonds A and B with zero coupons to cover some of its future liabilities. The redemption periods for these zero-coupon bonds are seven and twenty years, respectively.£11 million is due in 11 years, and £14 million is due in 16 years, according to the list of its liabilities.Determine bond B's value at an effective 5% annual interest rate so that Redington's theory of immunization's first two requirements are met.

- A Ford Motor Co. coupon bond has a coupon rate of 6.95%, and pays annual coupons. The next coupon is due tomorrow and the bond matures 36 years from tomorrow. The yield on the bond issue is 6.45%. At what price should this bond trade today, assuming a face value of $1,000? The price of the bond today should be $__________ (Round to the nearest cent.)arrow_forwardConsider two bonds, a 3-year bond paying annual coupons at 5% and a 10-year bond also paying annual coupons at 5%. Coupons are paid annually (not semiannually). Both are currently trading at par (i.e., price = face value). A. What must be the current discount rate for these bonds? B. Suppose that the discount rate for these bonds suddenly rise to 9%. What is the new price of the 3-year bond? What is the new price of the 10-year bond? C. Compare the price changes (i.e., the current price of $1,000 vs. the new bond price from Part B) of two bonds. Determine whether long-term or short-term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate fluctuation.arrow_forwardWhat is the price of a bond with the following information? It is 1.5 years until expiration. The coupon rate is 7 percent and coupon payments are made once per year. The market rate of return is 5.9 percent. The bond has a face value of 2000 SEK. Tips Draw a time axis so that you do not make any mistakes with the discounting. Don't look at the cash flows as an annuity, but as two separate cash flows. There is always a coupon payment when the bond matures, how long is it then until the next coupon payment? (Answers are rounded to integers) a) 265 b) 2100 c) 1971 d) 1990 e) 2216arrow_forward
- Please answer fast i give you upvote.arrow_forwardYou buy a bond today that has a coupon rate of 6.5%, with 10 years to maturity, and is trading at a YTM of 5.6% Assume that one year later, the bond is trading at a YTM of 5.0% What was the annual percentage return you earned by owning the bond? TIP: The annual return on a bond is equal to (Price(1) - P(0) + Coupon Payments)/P(0) See textbook, Section 6.4 Bond Rates of Return. Remember that when you calculate the value of the bond in one year, you will have received two coupons. Also, when you use the above formula, the prices of the bonds P(0) and P(1), as well as the coupons, should be calculated as dollars, not percentages of par value.arrow_forwardNeeds Complete solution with 100 % accuracy.arrow_forward

The final coupon is due immediately prior to the maturity of the forward. The relevant riskless rate of interest is 5%. If the bond is trading at $1025, calculate the theoretical forward price and initial value of the forward contract and explain the forward pricing relationship. (ii) Provide numerical examples of arbitrage strategies for situations where a broker offers a price above, and below the theoretical forward price.arrow_forwardAn investor invested a one-year maturity zero coupon rate bond 60 days ago by paying 965 USD from primary market.
