If a 1-year discount bond has a face value of $250 and a price of $200, what is the yield to maturity?

d.  If you hold the bonds for one year, and interest rates do not change, what total rate of return will you earn, assuming that you pay the market price? Why is this different from the current yield and YTM?

Which is generally considered the more appropriate estimate ofthe risk-free rate: the yield on a short-term T-bill or the yield on a10-year T-bond?

What is the stand-alone risk? Use the scenario data to calculate the standard deviation of the bonds return for the next year.

The current zero-coupon yield curve for risk-free bonds is as follows What is the price per $100 face value of a two-year, zero-coupon, risk-free bond? The price per $100 face value of the two-year, zero-coupon, risk-free bond is $ ____ (Round to the nearest cent.)

Which of the following is correct? O If you pay a price above its face value to buy a bond, your return will be higher than its coupon rate. O When market rate is greater than coupon rate, the bond has a price below its face value. O When determining the value of a bond that payments semi-annual payments, one need to use semi-annual coupon rate to determine the coupon payments and semi-annual market rate as discount rate.

Assume that the real risk-free rate is 2% and the average annual expected inflation rate is 4%. The DRP and LP for Bond A are each 2%, and the applicable MRP is 3%. What is Bond A's interest rate?

Suppose that y is the yield on a perpetual government bond that pays interest at the rate of $1 per annum. Assume that y is expressed with simply com- pounding, that interest is paid annually on the bond, and that y follows the process dy = a(y0 −y)dt + oydWt, where a, y0, and o are positive constants and dWt is a Wiener process. (a) What is the process followed by the bond price? (b) What is the expected instantaneous return (including interest and capital gains) to the holder of the bond?

Consider a bond with a face value of $1000. An increase and decrease in 1 bp results in the price changing to 995.12707 and 996.09333, respectively. What is its PVBP?

Suppose 2-year Treasury bonds yield 4.1%,while 1-year bonds yield 3.2%. r* is 1%, and the maturity risk premium is zero.a. Using the expectations theory, what is the yield on a 1-year bond, 1 year from now?Calculate the yield using a geometric average.b. What is the expected inflation rate in Year 1? Year 2?
