Consider the following coupon bond issued by XYZ.inc Term: 3 years Payment: 75 Face Value: 1,000 Currently the prevailing risk free rate is 0.02 and the market places a risk premium on XYZ.inc bonds of 0.02 Suppose the risk premium decreases by 0.02 Compute the change in the bond price.

The one-year spot rate z1 = 5% and the forward price for a one-year zero-coupon bond beginning in one year is 0.9346. Find the spot price (zero price) of a two-year zero-coupon bond.

Assume that the real risk free rate is 2% and the average expected inflation rate is 3% for each future year. The default risk premium and the liquidity premium for bond x are each 1% and the applicable Maturity Risk premium is 2% what is bond x’s interest rate. Round to 2 decimal places

Suppose the interest rate on a 1-year T-bond is 5.00% and that on a 2-year T-bond is 6.40%. Assume that the pure expectations theory is NOT valid, and the MRP is zero for a 1-year T-bond but 0.40% for a 2-year bond. What is the yield on a 1-year T-bond expected to be one year from now?

Unlike the coupon interest rate, which is fixed, a bond's yield varies from day to day depending on market conditions. To be most useful, it should give us an estimate of the rate of return an investor would earn if that investor purchased the bond today and held it for its remaining life. There are three different yield calculations: Current yield, yield to maturity, and yield to call. A bond's current yield is calculated as the annual interest payment divided by the current price. Unlike the yield to maturity or the yield to call, it does not represent the actual return that investors should expect because it does not account for the capital gain or loss that will be realized if the bond is held until it matures or is called. This yield was popular before calculators and computers came along because it was easy to calculate; however, because it can be misleading, the yield to maturity and yield to call are more relevant. The yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of return earned on a…

13. Consider a coupon bond with coupon payment=4.25, M=100, and n=2. Suppose ?1 = 4% and ?2 = 4.24%. Consider a forward contract for the delivery of the coupon bond in one period from today. Calculate the forward price using the following two approaches: 1) use the forward rate to price the forward contract; 2) use the cost of carry approach: spot-forward parity adjusted for the coupons.

In calculating the current price of a bond paying semiannual coupons, one needs to O use double the number of years for the number of payments made. O use the semiannual coupon. O use the semiannual rate as the discount rate. O All of the above needs to be done.

Consider the zero coupon Treasury bond yield curve. Suppose a 1 year bond has a yield of 2.13%. The yield curve slopes downwards between maturities of 1 year and 3 years, and then slopes upwards. Which of the following must be true?   Group of answer choices   A) The yield of a zero coupon bond with maturity 5 years is higher than 2.13%.   B) A 1 year positive coupon bond must have a lower price than the zero coupon bond with the same maturity.   C) Bond purchasers believe the Fed will decrease rates in the short run, and then increase them in the long run.   D) The economy will be in a recession within 2 years.   E) C and D.

Use Macauly's Duration Price Approximation formula for this. Before a change in interest rates, your bond has the following characteristics: present value of $5,557.56, Duration of 3.69 years with market interest rates of 5%. Calculate the percentage change in the bond's price if market rates fall to 4.85%. Be sure to include the negative sign IF you think the price goes down. I
