Suppose you are given the following information about four different, default-free bonds, each with a face value of $1,000. The coupon bonds have annual payments. The yield to maturity of bond A with a maturity of 1 year and a coupon rate of 0% is 2%. The yield to maturity of bond B with a maturity of 2 year and a coupon rate of 10% is 3.908%. The yield to maturity of bond C with a maturity of 3 year and a coupon rate of 6% is 5.840%. The yield to maturity of bond D with a maturity of 4 year and a coupon rate of 12% is 5.783%. Given this information, what is the four-year spot rate?

The bond's duration is the sum of the present value of each payment weighted by the time period in which the payment is received, with the resulting quantity divided by the price of the bond. Therefore, solve for the bond's duration given the following variables: A $1,000 par bond is priced at 95% of par, the bond's annual coupon rate is 6%, and the bond has 4 years to maturity. Additionally, show your calculator's function keys for the 5th column titled, "What is the Present Value Interest Factor at ? %" PV =, FV =, PMT =,N=, and I = .... and CPT key = ? 0.0000 CUIT CPT SET ENTER DEL INS Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 5 2ND CF NPV IRR PM AMORT DON CLR TVM PV PMT FV RAND Number (#) of "X" means "multiplied each by" payment Amount of payment "A $1,000 par bond is priced "X" means "multiplied by" What is the Present Value Interest 呢 VE 1/x HYP SIN مر at 95% of par" so $950 x .06 = $57?) 1 X $ 57 X Factor at ? % ?

Consider a bond that has a life of 2 years and pays a coupon of 10% per annum (with semiannual payments); the yield is 5% per annum with semiannual compounding.(a) What is the bond’s price?(b) What is the bond’s duration?(c) Suppose that the bond price is the one you computed in part (a) and that the 6M, 12M, and 18M zero rates are respectively 4.2%, 4.8% and 5.6% per annum. What is the 2Y zero rate assuming all rates are quoted with semiannual compounding?

Consider three bonds with 5.7% coupon rates all making annual coupon payments and all selling at face value. The short-term bond has a maturity of 4 years, the intermediate-term bond has a maturity of 8 years, and the long-term bond has a maturity of 30 years. a. What will be the price of the 4-year bond at decrease yield to 4.70% b. What will be the price of the 8-year bond at decreases yield of 4.7%? c. What will be the price of the 30-year-bond if it's yield decreases to 4.7?

You purchase a bond with an invoice price of $1,170. The bond has a coupon rate of 7.2 percent, and there are 2 months to the next semiannual coupon date. What is the clean price of the bond? Assume a par value of $1,000.

You purchase a bond with an invoice price of $1,047. The bond has a coupon rate of 10 percent, and there are 4 months to the next semiannual coupon date. What is the clean price of the bond? Enter the answer with 2 decimals (e.g. 954.23).

The following table summarizes prices of various default-free zero-coupon bonds (expressed as a percentage of the face value): a. Compute the yield to maturity for each bond. b. Plot the zero-coupon yield curve (for the first five years). c. Is the yield curve upward sloping, downward sloping, or flat? a. Compute the yield to maturity for each bond. The yield on the 1-year bond is 3.92 %. (Round to two decimal places.) Data table (Click on the following icon in order to copy its contents into a spreadsheet.)

A Treasury bond that matures in 10 years has a yield of 4.25%. A 10-year corporate bond has a yield of 9.00%. Assume that the liquidity premium on the corporate bond is 0.70%. What is the default risk premium on the corporate bond? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Assume that the real, risk-free rate of interest is expected to be constant over time at 3 percent, and that the annual yield on a 6-year corporate bond is 8.00 percent, while the annual yield on a 10-year corporate bond is 7.75 percent: you may assume that the default risk and liquidity premium are the same for both bonds. Also assume that the maturity risk premium for all securities can be estimated as MRP, (0.1%) *(t-1), where t is the number of periods until maturity. Finally assume that inflation is expected to be constant at 3 percent for Years 1-6, and then constant at some rate for Years 7-10 (4 years). Given this information, determine what the market must anticipate the average annual rate of inflation will be for Years 7-10. 2.583% O 1979% 2.281% 1.375 % O 1.677 % 4

Bond A is a premium bond with a 9 percent coupon. Bond B is a 5 percent coupon bond currently selling at a discount. Both bonds make annual payments, have a YTM of 6 percent, and have five years to maturity. The face value is $1000 for both bonds. a. Why is the capital gain yield of the premium bond different from that of the discount bond? Which bond is better in terms of yields? b. What is the holding period return for each bond, if both bonds are held over the next year and sold at the year ned?
