Tom Cruise Lines Incorporated issued bonds five years ago at $1,000 per bond. These bonds had a 30-year life when issued and the annual interest payment was then 15 percent. This return was in line with the required returns by bondholders at that point as described below: Real rate of return Inflation premium Risk premium Total return 50 6 4 158 Assume that five years later the inflation premium is only 2 percent and is appropriately reflected in the required return (or yield to maturity) of the bonds. The bonds have 25 years remaining until maturity. Compute the new price of the bond. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. Assume interest payments are annual. New price of the bond

I would like to understand how to solve this in Excel. Hardware Inc. bonds are selling in the market for $960.45. These bonds carry a 9 percent coupon paid semiannually, and have 15 years remaining to maturity. What is the capital gain yield assuming that the interest rates will remain constant over the year?

Find the Macaulay duration and the modified duration of a 15​-year, 7.5​% corporate bond priced to yield 5.5​%. According to the modified duration of this​ bond, how much of a price change would this bond incur if market yields rose to 6.5​%? Using annual​ compounding, calculate the price of this bond in one year if rates do rise to 6.5​%. How does this price change compare to that predicted by the modified​ duration? Explain the difference.

A company's 5-year bonds are yielding 8% per year. Treasury bonds with the same maturity are yielding 4.2% per year, and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.15%. The average inflation premium is 1.65%, and the maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.1 × (t - 1)%, where t = number of years to maturity. If the liquidity premium is 0.4%, what is the default risk premium on the corporate bonds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
