Small industries’ bonds sell for £885. They will mature in 8 years-time, and offer a yield to maturity of 8%. What is the coupon rate of the bond? Assume a nominal value of £1,000.

Consider a bond (with par value = $1,000) paying a coupon rate of 10% per year semiannually when the market interest rate is only 4% per half-year. The bond has three years until maturity. Required: a. Find the bond's price today and six months from now after the next coupon is paid. b. What is the total (6-month) rate of return on the bond? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A Required B Find the bond's price today and six months from now after the next coupon is paid. Note: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Current price Price after six months $ $ 1,052.42 1,044.52

A government bond with 2 years until maturity has a face value of £120,000 and anannual nominal coupon rate of 1%. Assume that the relevant nominal market interestrate (annualized) is equal to 5%. The coupon payments are made every 6 months.  Calculate the present value of the bond.  Assume the individual coupons are stripped from the bond and soldseparately as zero coupon bonds. Calculate the market value of these zero couponbonds.  Assume there are no further changes to the market rate. How would youexpect the price of the bond to evolve?  Assume there exist a Callable bond with similar characteristics to thebond described above. Would you expect this Callable bond to have a higher orlower price? Explain why.
