Consider a bond (with par value = $1,000) paying a coupon rate of 10% per year semiannually when the market interest rate is only 4% per half-year. The bond has three years until maturity. Required: a. Find the bond's price today and six months from now after the next coupon is paid. b. What is the total (6-month) rate of return on the bond?

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 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

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
