Problem 10-15 (Algo) Effect of yield to maturity on bond price [LO10-2, 10-3] Media Bias Incorporated issued bonds 10 years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 30-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 15 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point in time as described below: Real rate of return Inflation premium Risk premium Total return 5% 5 5 15% Assume that 10 years later, due to good publicity, the risk premium is now 2 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 20 years remaining until maturity. New price of the bond Compute the new price of the bond. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. Assume interest payments are annual.

Bond Valuation and Changes in Maturity and Required Returns Suppose Hillard Manufacturing sold an issue of bonds with a 10-year maturity, a 1,000 par value, a 10% coupon rate, and semiannual interest payments. a. Two years after the bonds were issued, the going rate of interest on bonds such as these fell to 6%. At what price would the bonds sell? b. Suppose that 2 years after the initial offering, the going interest rate had risen to 12%. At what price would the bonds sell? c. Suppose that 2 years after the issue date (as in Part a) interest rates fell to 6%. Suppose further that the interest rate remained at 6% for the next 8 years. What would happen to the price of the bonds over time?
Bond Valuation with Semiannual Payments Renfro Rentals has issued bonds that have a 10% coupon rate, payable semiannually. The bonds mature in 8 years, have a face value of $1,000, and a yield to maturity of 8.5%. What is the price of the bonds?
Problem 2: Complex Systems has an outstanding issue of $1,000-par-value bonds with a 12% coupon interest rate. The issue pays interest annually and has 11years remaining to its maturity date. If bonds of similar risk are currently earning a rate of return of 7%, how much should the Complex Systems bond sell for today? a. b. Describe the two possible reasons why the rate on similar-risk bonds is below the coupon interest rate on the Complex Systems bond. If the required return were at 12% instead of 7%, what would be the current value of Complex Systems' bond? Contrast this finding with your findings in part a and discuss. C.
Excel Online Structured Activity: Interest rate premiums A 5-year Treasury bond has a 4.3% yield. A 10-year Treasury bond yields 6.85%, and a 10-year corporate bond yields 8.25%. The market expects that inflation will average 3.3% over the next 10 years (IP10 = 3.3%). Assume that there is no maturity risk premium (MRP = 0) and that the annual real risk-free rate, r*, will remain constant over the next 10 years. (Hint: Remember that the default risk premium and the liquidity premium are zero for Treasury securities: DRP = LP = 0.) A 5-year corporate bond has the same default risk premium and liquidity premium as the 10-year corporate bond described. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below.

Problem 07.050 - IRR of high-interest bond During recessionary periods, bonds that were issued many years ago have a higher coupon rate than currently issued bonds. Therefore, they may sell at a premium, a price higher than their face value, because of currently low coupon rates. A $50,000 bond that was issued 15 years ago is for sale for $56,000. What rate of return per year will a purchaser make if the bond coupon rate is 15% per year payable semi-annually, and the bond is due 5 years from now?
