- A one-year zero coupon bond costs $99.43 today. Exactly one year from today, it will pay $100. What is the annual yield-to-maturity of the bond?

- Compute the price of a risk-free bond with a face value of $1,000 that has seven years left to maturity, a coupon rate of 5%, and annual interest payments. Assume it just made a coupon payment (i.e., it has seven annual payments left). The current term structure of risk-free rates is provided below. Face value Coupon rate $ 1,000.00 5.00% Term structure Maturity 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Risk-free yields 1.00% 1.50% 2.00% 2.50% 3.00% 3.50% 4.00% Coupon payment Face value Cash flows PV (CF) Pricearrow_forwardWhat is the current value of a 30-year bond making semi-annual coupon payments that has a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 8%, if the YTM is 4%, how much does the bond currently sell for? Does the bond sell at a discount, premium, or at face value? Reference the below formulas when solving the problem above: PV = FV / (1+r)^t FV = PV(1+r)^t FVA = PMT(((1+r)^t) -1) / r FVA = PMT((1+(r/12)^t(12))-1)/(r/12) PVA = PMT(((1-(1+r)^-t) / r)) PVA = PMT((1-(1+(r/12))^-t(12)))/(r/12) Bo = PMT ((1-(1+r/2)^-t(2))) / r/2 + FV / (1+r/2)^t(2)arrow_forward13. Consider a coupon bond with coupon payment=4.25, M=100, and n=2. Suppose ?1 = 4% and ?2 = 4.24%. Consider a forward contract for the delivery of the coupon bond in one period from today. Calculate the forward price using the following two approaches: 1) use the forward rate to price the forward contract; 2) use the cost of carry approach: spot-forward parity adjusted for the coupons.arrow_forward
- Let's denote the price of a nonmaturing bond (called a consol) as P. The equation that indicates this price is Pn =-, where I is the annual net income the bond generates and r is the nominal market interest rate. a. Suppose that a bond promises the holder $200 per year forever. The nominal market interest rate is 6 percent. Calculate the bond's current price: S. (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.)arrow_forwardSuppose that a 1-year zero-coupon bond with face value $100 currently sells at $89.75, while a 2-year zero sells at $79.88. You are considering the purchase of a 2-year-maturity bond making annual coupon payments. The face value of the bond is $100, and the coupon rate is 10% per year. Required: What is the yield to maturity of the 2-year zero? What is the yield to maturity of the 2-year coupon bond? What is the forward rate for the second year? If the expectations hypothesis is accepted, what are (1) the expected price of the coupon bond at the end of the first year and (2) the expected holding-period return on the coupon bond over the first year? Will the expected rate of return be higher or lower if you accept the liquidity preference hypothesis?arrow_forward
