- A three-year bond with $1,000 face value and 10% coupon rate is sold for $1,000 today.

An investor wants to invest for a 2-year horizon is choosing between buying a 1-year security and hold it for 1 year and reinvest the proceeds in another 1-year security or buying the 2-year security and hold it for 2 years.

- The YTM on a bond is the interest rate you earn on your investment if interest rates don't change. If you actually sell the bond before it matures, your realized return is known as the holding period yield (HPY). (Round the final answers to 2 decimal places.) a. Suppose that today you buy an 9.1% annual coupon bond for $1,170. The bond has 19 years to maturity. What rate of return do you expect to earn on your investment? Expected rate of return % b-1. Two years from now, the YTM on your bond has declined by 1%, and you decide to sell. What price will your bond sell for? (Omit $ sign in your response.) Bond price $ b-2. What is the HPY on your investment? HPYarrow_forwardAnswer the following two questions: a. A bond with a face value of $1200 has a 10% coupon rate, its current price is $950, and its price is expected to increase to $1000 next year. Calculate the expected rate of return. b. If the interest rate is 2 percent, what is the present value of a security that pays you $100 next year, $110 two years from now and $120 three years from now? If this security sold for $320 instead, is the yield to maturity greater or less than 2 percent? Explain why (No calculation needed).arrow_forwardSuppose you purchase a 30-year, zero-coupon bond with a yield to maturity of 6.4%. You hold the bond for five years before selling it. a. If the bond's yield to maturity is 6.4% when you sell it, what is the annualized rate of return of your investment? b. If the bond's yield to maturity is 7.4% when you sell it, what is the annualized rate of return of your investment? c. If the bond's yield to maturity is 5.4% when you sell it, what is the annualized rate of return of your investment? d. Even if a bond has no chance of default, is your investment risk free if you plan to sell it before it matures? Explain.arrow_forward
- Suppose you purchase a 10-year bond with 6.5% annual coupons. You hold the bond for four years and sell it immediately after receiving the fourth coupon. If the bond's yield to maturity was 5.3% when you purchased and sold th bond, what is the rate of return of your investment?arrow_forwardA bond pays $11,000 per year for the next 10 years. The bond costs $99,000 now. Inflation is expected to be 6 percent over the next 10 years. Answer parts (a) and (b). a. What is the current dollar internal rate of return? Use linear interpolation with x₁ = 1.95% and x₂ = 2.00% to find your answer. The current dollar internal rate of return is percent. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardConsider a Treasury bond with 8% coupon rate and 4 years to maturity (annual coupons). You enter into a forward contract to purchase this bond two years from today right after the second coupon is paid. What is the forward price? The prices of zero coupon bonds maturing in one, two, three, and four years (per 1$ face value) are 0.9524, 0.8900, 0.8278, and 0.7629 respectively.arrow_forward
- An investor has two bonds in his portfolio that have a face value of $1,000 and pay a 10% annual coupon. Bond L matures in 19 years, while Bond S matures in 1 year.
