- Which statements is INCORRECT? Treasury bonds (T-bond) have maturities up to 30 years A coupon bond is called a discount bond when its market price is less than its fair price A bond's yield to maturity (YTM) is the return an investor earns if holding the bond until its maturity Treasury bills (T-bill) have maturities up to one yeararrow_forwardThe rise and fall of a bond's price has a direct inverse relationship to its yield to maturity, or interest rate. As prices go up, the yield declines and vice versa. For example, a $1,000 bond might carry a stated annual yield, known as the coupon of 8%, meaning that it pays $80 a year to the bondholder. If that bond was bought for $870, the actual yield to maturity would be 9.2% ($80 annual interest on $870 of principal). Do you agree with this analysis? Briefly explain.arrow_forwardConsider the zero coupon Treasury bond yield curve. Suppose a 1 year bond has a yield of 2.13%. The yield curve slopes downwards between maturities of 1 year and 3 years, and then slopes upwards. Which of the following must be true? Group of answer choices A) The yield of a zero coupon bond with maturity 5 years is higher than 2.13%. B) A 1 year positive coupon bond must have a lower price than the zero coupon bond with the same maturity. C) Bond purchasers believe the Fed will decrease rates in the short run, and then increase them in the long run. D) The economy will be in a recession within 2 years. E) C and D.arrow_forward

Is this coupon bond properly priced? If not, design an arbitrage argument to profit by the mispricing.arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image formate thanku. A 2-year maturity bond with face value of $1,000 makes annual coupon payments of $96 and is selling at face value. What will be the annual rate of return on the bond if its yield to maturity at the end of the year is a. 6%? Rate of return in % = ? b. 9.6%? Rate of return in % = ? c. 11.6%? Rate of return in % = ?arrow_forwardThere are four similar coupon bonds.If the only differences are their maturities and YTMs.which one would have the most volatile market price when there is a fluctuation in the market interest rate?Please carefully explain. 7-year maturity with a 8% YTM 15-year maturity with a 4% YTM 7-year maturity with a 6% YTM 15-year maturity witth a 2% YTMarrow_forward
- The market wide discount rates are known to be 0.96 for 1-year and 0.90 for 2- years. You observe that a two-year zero-coupon bond with a face value of £250 trades at £230 and a 1-year zero coupon bond with a face value of £150 trades at £142. What trading strategy do you implement (there is no need to calculate the number or values of the bonds traded) and what do you expect the outcome of this strategy to be if it is mimicked by other institutions in the bond market?arrow_forwardFind the price of the bond. Solve the question without using Excel and provide the necessary calculations.arrow_forwardBond price and bond value are the same thing. The price an investor should pay for something should be (is) equal to its value. A bond with a coupon rate of 3.5% matures in 11 years. Yields are currently 3%. What is the price of the bond? Answer:arrow_forward
