Question
A 10-year, 6.1-percent coupon bond is selling for 102.0 percent of par. What is the bond's market yield if it makes semi-annual coupon payments? (Round answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.795.)
Please show and explain your steps in detail and show how to calculate this on a financial calculator as well.

- The answers I got were wrongarrow_forwardSubmit your solutions as an Excel document. Be sure to clearly label the various parts of the problem. 1. Consider the following two bonds that make semi - annual coupon payments. Assume the first coupon payment occurs in exactly six months, and the bond has a face value of $1000. Coupon Rate Time to Maturity YTM Bond A 3.80% 8 years 3.6% Bond B 3.80% 18 years 4.2% a.) What is the current price (t = 0) of Bond A? Be sure to set up the valuation equation. b.) What will be the price of Bond A exactly halfway in between t = 0 and the first coupon date? c.) Using a spreadsheet, plot the price - yield relationship for both Bond A and Bond B on the same set of axes. Do this for a range of yields from 2% to 11% (in increments of 50 basis points). d.) Use a spreadsheet to compute the annualized Macaulay duration and modified duration for Bond A at a yield - to - maturity of 3.6%. Provide an interpretation of the modified duration with regards to maturity and interest rate risk. e.)

The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the question below. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what does the market believe that 2-year securities will be yielding 4 years from now? Calculate the yield using a geometric average. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forward
- Today, interest rates on 1-year T-bonds yield 1.7%, interest rates on 2-year T-bonds yield 2.5%, and interest rates on 3-year T-bonds yield 3.7%.a. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the yield on 1-year T-bonds one year from now? Be sure to use a geometric average in your calculations. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to four decimal places. b. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the yield on 2-year T-bonds one year from now? Be sure to use a geometric average in your calculations. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to four decimal places. c. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what is the yield on 1-year T-bonds two years from now? Be sure to use a geometric average in your calculations. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to four decimal places.arrow_forwardThe following information is to be used in the following two questions: Using the expectations hypothesis, You observe the following bonds trading in the market: . a 1-year zero priced at $925.00 • a two-year 10% coupon bond trading at a par value of $10,000 What is the one-year interest rate (expressed in %)?arrow_forward4. Using Excel or your favorite software: (a) A 5-year Treasury newly issued on February 15, 2021 would have a coupon equal to the 5-year par coupon and would have been priced at par. Confirm that your par coupon results in a par price for this bond. (b) Calculate the 6-month forward rates for all the cash-flow dates of your 5-year bond. Confirm that a 5-year floating rate bond with coupons equal to the forward rates prices at par. (c) Consider the case where the Federal Reserve increases rates in a way that results in an increase of all forward rates by 200 basis points: i. Recalculate the price of the fixed-rate bond using the par coupon you calcu- lated in part 4(a) above. Note that the discount factors will have changed because of the parallel shift in the forward curve. Briefly explain the price change or lack thereof. ii. Recalculate the price of the 5-year floating-rate bond. Briefly explain the price change or lack thereof. (d) A security known as an interest-rate swap can be…arrow_forward
- Unlike the coupon interest rate, which is fixed, a bond's yield varies from day to day depending on market conditions. To be most useful, it should give us an estimate of the rate of return an investor would earn if that investor purchased the bond today and held it for its remaining life. There are three different yield calculations: Current yield, yield to maturity, and yield to call. A bond's current yield is calculated as the annual interest payment divided by the current price. Unlike the yield to maturity or the yield to call, it does not represent the actual return that investors should expect because it does not account for the capital gain or loss that will be realized if the bond is held until it matures or is called. This yield was popular before calculators and computers came along because it was easy to calculate; however, because it can be misleading, the yield to maturity and yield to call are more relevant. The yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of return earned on a…arrow_forwardFind the duration of a bond with a settlement date of May 27, 2023, and maturity date November 15, 2034. The coupon rate of the bond is 8.5%, and the bond pays coupons semiannually. The bond is selling at a bond-equivalent yield to maturity of 10.0%. Use Spreadsheet 16.2. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.) Macaulay duration Modified durationarrow_forwardIf the YTM on a bond is 11.1 %, what will be the periodic rate assuming the bond is paying coupons semi-annually? (Write this number as a decimal and not as a percentage, e.g. 0.11 not 11%. Round your answer to three decimal places. For example 1.23450 or 1.23463 will be rounded to 1.235 while 1.23448 will be rounded to 1,234).arrow_forward
