Assume you will be paying $10,000 per year in tuition expenses at the end of each of the next two years. Bonds currently yield 8%. a) What is the present value and duration of your obligation? b) What maturity zero-coupon bond would immunize your obligation? c) Suppose you buy a zero-coupon bond with value and duration equal to that of your obligation. Now suppose that interest rates immediately increase to 9%. What happens to your net position, that is, to the difference between the value of the bond and that of your tuition obligation? d) What happens to your net position if rates instead fall to 7%?

Suppose the U.S. Treasury offers to sell you a bond for $3,000. No payments will be made until the bond matures 15 years from now, at which time it will be redeemed for $5,600. What interest rate would you earn if you bought this bond at the offer price?
You will receive $100 from a savings bond in 3 years. The nominal interest rate is 8%. a. What is the present value of the proceeds from the bond? b. If the inflation rate over the next few years is expected to be 3%, what will the real value of the $100 payoff be in terms of today's dollars? C. What is the real interest rate? d. Show that the real payoff from the bond [from part (b)] discounted at the real interest rate [from part (c)] gives the same present value for the bond as you found in part (a).
You will receive $100 from a savings bond in 2 years. The nominal interest rate is 8.40%. a. What is the present value of the proceeds from the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations.

(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. What is the real interest rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) d. Calculate the real payoff from the bond [from part (b)] discounted at the real interest rate [from part (c)].

Over the next three years, the expected path of 1-year interest rates is 1, 2,and 1 percent, and the 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year term premia are 0, 0.2, and 0.5 percent, respectively. Using the information, today you buy $1 of one-year bonds and when it matures you plan to use the money you receive to reinvest in one-year bonds again. Then your expected rate of return for this $1 investment over the next two-year period is %. (round to the nearest integer)

Which of the following statements is true? You intend to purchase a 10-year, $1,000 face value bond that pays interest of $60 every 6 months. If your nominal annual required rate of return is 10 percent with semiannual compounding, how much should you be willing to pay for this bond? Select one:
How much will a $49,200 EE savings bond cost when you initially purchase it? Assuming the bond earns 2.69 percent annually, approximately how long will it take for the bond to reach its stated face value? When you initially purchase it, the EE saving bond will cost $ 24,600. (Round to the nearest dollar.) Assuming the bond earns 2.69 percent annually, the length of time it will take for the bond to reach its stated face value is years. (Round to one decimal place.)
Consider a bond (with par value = $1,000) paying a coupon rate of 10% per year semiannually when the market interest rate is only 4% per half-year. The bond has three years until maturity. Required: a. Find the bond's price today and six months from now after the next coupon is paid. b. What is the total (6-month) rate of return on the bond? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A Required B Find the bond's price today and six months from now after the next coupon is paid. Note: Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Current price Price after six months $ $ 1,052.42 1,044.52
1) A corporate bond has a face value of $1000 with maturity date 10 years from today. The bond pays interest annually at a 7% per year based on the face value. If you want an annual rate of return of 10%/yr, how much are you willing to pay for the bond today?
An insurance company is thinking about purchasing bonds A and B with zero coupons to cover some of its future liabilities. The redemption periods for these zero-coupon bonds are seven and twenty years, respectively.£11 million is due in 11 years, and £14 million is due in 16 years, according to the list of its liabilities.Determine bond B's value at an effective 5% annual interest rate so that Redington's theory of immunization's first two requirements are met.
