If the bonds are trading with a market's required yield to maturity of 17 percent, are these premium or discount bonds? Explain your answer. What is the price of the bonds? a. If the bonds are trading with a yield to maturity of 17%, then (Select the best choice below.) O A. there is not enough information to judge the value of the bonds. O B. the bonds should be selling at par because the bond's coupon rate is equal to the yield to maturity of similar bonds. D! O C. the bonds should be selling at a discount because the bond's coupon rate is less than the yield 11 to maturity of similar bonds. O D. the bonds should be selling at a premium because the bond's coupon rate is greater than the yield to maturity of similar bonds. 11 b. The price of the bonds is $ (Round to the nearest cent.)

A plot of the yields on bonds with different terms to maturity but the same risk, liquidity, and tax considerations is known as O A. a yield curve. B. a risk-structure curve. OC. a term-structure curve. 5- O D. an interest-rate curve. Suppose people expect the interest rate on one-year bonds for each of the next four years to be 3%, 6%, 5%, and 6%. If the expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates is correct, then the implied interest rate on bonds with a maturity of four years is nearest whole number). %. (Round your response to the 2- Refer to the figure on your right. Suppose the expected interest rates on one-year bonds for each of the next four years are 4%, 5%, 6%, and 7%, respectively. 1. 1.) Use the line drawing tool (once) to plot the yield curve generated. 3 Term to Maturity in Years 2.)

Consider two types of bonds: A 10 year to maturity corporate bond and a 10 year to maturity Treasury bond. We know that Corporate Bonds have default risk. Discuss the impact on the markets for these two type of bonds & on the risk premium when there is a FALL in the risk of corporate default? Provide a DISCUSSION of the impact and ILLUSTRATE the impact graphically using two diagrams, one for corporate bonds and one for Treasuries. The diagrams should show the impact on each yield and the impact on the risk premium [label your diagram clearly to illustrate the old premium vs. the new premium]. hint: draw your diagrams side by side, so you can show the risk premiums as done in lecture.
