Investigating the principle that all bonds are priced to give the same total yield which is the current market rate of interest. REQUIRED: Create your own bond – i.e. the par value may be kept at 1000, but decide your own coupon rate, maturity period and current market rate of interest. Now compute your total yield which should consist of Current Yield plus Capital Gain/Loss Yield and find out if it equates the market rate of interest that you selected.

Check all that are true with respect to the yield to maturity (YTM) and the expected return for a bond. Group of answer choices The expected return is based on the contractly obligated payments whereas the YTM is based on what the investors expect to receive The YTM is based on the promised payments whereas the expected return is based on the expected cash flows Higher YTMs always mean higher expected returns In the presence of non-zero default risk, the YTM will be higher than the expected return YTM is just another name for the expected return

can you may this calculations for each of my bonds?. For each of your bonds, calculate expected defavvult percent loss as = default probability* (1 - recovery rate ). You will need to use the default rates and recovery rates that match each bond's rating. 4. Calculate the overall expected loss to your portfolio as the weighted average of the expected default percent loss

Calculate YTC using a financial calculator by entering the number of payment periods until call for N, the price of the bond for PV, the interest payments for PMT, and the call price for FV. Then you can solve for 1/YR YTC. Again, remember you need to make the appropriate adjustments for a semiannual bond and realize that the calculated 1/YR is on a periodic basis so you will need to multiply the rate by 2 to obtain the annual rate. In addition, you need to make sure that the signs for PMT and FV are identical and the opposite sign is used for PV; otherwise, your answer will be incorrect. A company is more likely to call its bonds if they are able to replace their current high-coupon debt with less expensive financing. A bond is more likely to be called if its price is above par-because this means that the going market interest rate is less than its coupon rate.
