Six years ago, Rafael Sandino bought a 6%, 30-year corporate bond for $1,050. If he keeps the bond until maturity what will be his yield to maturity? Assume he receives interest checks semiannually. Round to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

Assume that Peter purchased a 25-year, 7.24 percent coupon (annual payments) bond at par ($1,000). He sold the bond after 4 years for $1,095.55. He reinvested the coupon payments at the 4.75 percent compounded annually. Calculate the bond's total yield.

Lola Ruiz has a bond that has 10 years to maturity, a face value of $1,000, an 7 percent interest rate, and a market price of $1,350. What is the dollar amount of annual interest on this bond?

A $1,000 par value bond was issued 20 years ago at a 9 percent coupon rate. It currently has 5 years remaining to maturity. Interest rates on similar debt obligations are now 10 percent. Compute the current price of the bond using an assumption of semiannual payments. If Mr. Robinson initially bought the bond at par value, what is his percentage loss (or gain)? Now assume Mrs. Pinson buys the bond at its current market value and holds it to maturity, what will her percentage return be? Although the same dollar amounts are involved in parts b and c,explain why the percentage gain is larger than the percentage loss.
