Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 7 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 7.3 percent paid annually. If the YTM is 9.3 percent, what is the current bond price in euros? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.

a)  At 21 February 2018, the US Government could borrow at an annual 10-year yield of 2.89%. At that yield, how much were financial markets paying for the right to receive $100 from the US Government 10 years later?  (b)  Suppose a 5-year zero-coupon bond (??? = $100) issued by the US government is currently trading at $90. What is the annual yield an investor would receive for buying such a bond and holding it to maturity?  (c)  Suppose the US Federal Reserve (the US Central Bank) wants to lower longer-maturity yields. Briefly explain the process (known as Quantitative Easing) it could use to achieve this.

After setting aside the required reserves, the bank decides to invest the remaining amount of cash. The bank invests £15 million in a coupon bond issues by UK Treasury. What remains is loaned out. The coupon bond of point (e) pays a coupon of 4% per year, paid semi-annually. It has 2 years to maturity. If the current Yield-to-Maturity is 3.5% semi-annually, what is the price of the bond?

What is the Macaulay duration of a 7 percent semiannual coupon bond with two years to maturity and a current price of $1,055.30? (Note: You are required to solve the problem by calculating "Years \times PV / Bond Price" for each cash flow and summing the results. YTM and PV must be calculated using a financial calculator. Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Suppose the U.S. Treasury offers to sell you a bond for $697.25. No payments will be made until the bond matures 4 years from now, at which time it will be redeemed for $1,000. What interest rate would you earn if you bought this bond at the offer price?   a. 5.51%     b. 35.86%     c. 7.48%     d. 9.43%     e. 12.77%

The U.S. Treasury has issued 10-year zero coupon bonds with a face value of $1,000. Assume that the bond compounds interest semiannually. What will be the current market price of these bonds if the yield to maturity for similar investments in the market is 6.75 percent?   $860 O $520 O $604 O $515
