How much would you pay for a perpetual bond that pays an annual coupon of $80 per year and yields on competing instruments are 20%?
You would pay $.
(Round your response to the nearest penny.)
Part 2
If competing yields are expected to change to 8%, what is the current yield on this same bond assuming that you paid
$400?
The current yield is %. (Round your response to the nearest integer.)
Part 3
If you sell this bond in exactly one year, having paid $400, and received exactly one coupon payment, what is your total return if competing yields are 8%?
Your total return is %. (Round your response to two decimal

The face value of each bond is $1,000. Maturity (Years) 1 2 3 4 5 Price $ 996.04 895.89 833.92 772.80 675.18 Required: a. Suppose that you buy today one 3-year maturity zero-coupon bond with face value $1,000. How many 5-year maturity zeros would you have to sell to make your initial cash flow equal to zero (specifically, what must be the total face value of those 5-year zeros)? b. What are the cash flows on this strategy in each year? c. What is the effective 2-year interest rate on the effective 3-year-ahead forward loan? d. & e. Confirm that the effective 2-year forward interest rate equals (1 + f4) ×(1 + f5)-1. You therefore can interpret the 2-year loan rate as a 2-year forward rate for the last two years. Alternatively, show that the effective 2-year forward rate equals (1 + y5) 15 + (1+y3) ³. - 1arrow_forwardYou are considering investing in a 20% coupon rate bond with the annual coupons, a three-year majority and a face value of $1000. You observe the following prices for discount or zero - coupon bonds with face value of $100 (STRIPS): Time to maturity 1 year 2 Years 3 Years Price 96.71 92.21 84.47 (a) What is the fair market price of the bond? (b) What is the yield to maturity of the bond? (c) What is the yield to maturity on the one-year STRIP? (d) What is the yield to maturity on the two-year STRIP? (e) What is the yield to maturity on the three-year STRIP? (f) What does the market expect the 1 year to be in 1 year from now? (g) What does the market expect the 1 year to be in 2 years from now?

(h) What does the market expect the 2 years to be in 1 year from now?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_forwardConsider 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.arrow_forward

There are 10 years to maturity remaining on it. Your required rate of return is 12.4 % per year, How much should you be willing to pay for this bond? (Round your answer to three decimal places. For example 1.23450 or 1.23463 will be rounded to 1.235 while 1.23448 will be rounded to 1.234).arrow_forward
