Coupon payments are fixed, but the percentage return that investors receive varies based on market conditions. This percentage return is referred to as the bond’s yield. Q1. Yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of return expected from a bond held until its maturity date. However, the YTM equals the expected rate of return under certain assumptions. Which of the following is one of those assumptions? a. The bond is callable. b. The probability of default is zero. Consider the case of RTE Inc:  Q2. RTE Inc. has 9% annual coupon bonds that are callable and have 18 years left until maturity. The bonds have a par value of $1,000, and their current market price is $1,130.35. However, RTE Inc. may call the bonds in eight years at a call price of $1,060. What are the YTM and the yield to call (YTC) on RTE Inc.’s bonds?   Value YTM ? YTC ? Q3. If interest rates are expected to remain constant, what is the best estimate of the remaining life left for RTE Inc.’s bonds? a. 8 years b. 10…

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? O The yield on á 5-year Treasury bond cannot exceed the yield on a 20-year Treasury bond. O The following represents a "possibly reasonable" formula for the maturity risk premium on bonds: MRP = -0.1% (t), where t is the years to maturity. O The yield on a 10-year AAA-rated corporate bond should always exceed the yield on a 5- year AAA-rated corporate bond. O The yield on a 3-year corporate bond should always exceed the yield on a 2-year corporate bond. O The yield on a 10-year corporate bond should always exceed the yield on a 10-year Treasury bond.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?   a. The yield to maturity for a coupon bond that sells at a premium consists entirely of a positive capital gains yield; it has a zero current interest yield.     b. The yield to maturity on a coupon bond that sells at its par value consists entirely of a current interest yield; it has a zero expected capital gains yield.     c. Rising inflation makes the actual yield to maturity on a bond greater than a quoted yield to maturity that is based on market prices.     d. The market value of a bond will always approach its par value as its maturity date approaches. This holds true even if the firm has filed for bankruptcy.     e. The expected capital gains yield on a bond will always be zero or positive because no investor would purchase a bond with an expected capital loss.
