  1. Calculate the price of all three bonds using the following formula:

PV=t=1nPMT1+rt+FV1+rn

Here,

'PV' is the price of the bond at which it can be purchased today.

'PMT' is the semiannual coupon payment of the bond.

'FV' is the value of the bond at the time of redemption in future.

'n' is the number of times the payment is made of the interest.

Calculate the price of zero-coupon bond.

r=0%FV=$1,000n=10yearsPV=t=1nPMT1+rt+FV1+rn=t=1n$01+0.08+$1,0001+0.0810=$1,0002.16=$463.19

The price of zero- coupon bond is$463.19 .

Calculate the price 8% coupon bond.

Substitute

The price of 8% coupon bond is$1000.00

Calculate the price 10% coupon bond.

Substitute r=8%PMT=0.10×1000=$100FV=$1,000n=10yearsPV=t=1nPMT1+r1+FV1+rn=t=110$1001+0.081+$1,0001+0.0810PV=$1001.081+$1001.082+$1001.083+$1001.084+$1001.085+$1001.086+$1001.087+$1001.089+$1001.0810=$1001.08+$1001.17+$1001.26+$1001.36+$1001.47+$1001.59+$1001.71+$1001.85+$1002.00+$1002.16+$1,0002.16

Answer to Problem 38PS

The return of all the bonds is calculated as 8%.

Explanation of Solution

The prices of the bonds after one year are calculated using the same formula as in part (a), only the value of the n changes in the calculation. It changes from 10 years to 9 years now and the calculation is as shown above.

The price of the zero coupon bond after one year is $500.25, 8% coupon bond is $1,000 and the price of the 10% coupon bond is $1,134.20.

The return on the three bonds is calculated using the following formula:
