Answer to Problem 40PS

The implied one-year forward rate for2ndyear is12.01%and for3rdyear is14.03%

Given:

The yield to maturity for1styear is10%, for2ndyear is11%and for3rdyear is12%.

Explanation:

The formula for computing forward rate as follows:

  Forward Rate=1+YTM for current yearCorresponding year1+YTM for previous yearCorresponding year1

For computing forward rate of zero-coupon bond with11%yield to maturity and maturity of2years:

  Forward Rate=1+YTM for current yearCorresponding year1+YTM for previous yearCorresponding year1=1+0.1121+0.101=12.01%

For computing forward rate of zero-coupon bond with12%yield to maturity and maturity of3years:

  Forward Rate=1+YTM for current yearCorresponding year1+YTM for previous yearCorresponding year1=1+0.1231+0.1121=14.03%

Thus, the implied one-year forward rate for2ndyear is12.01%and for3rdyear is14.03%

Answer to Problem 40PS

The expected rate of return for two year bond is10%.

Explanation:

The formula for computing price of the bond as follows:

  Price of the Bond=FV1+rn

For computing price of the bond with10%yield to maturity:

  Price of the Bond=FV1+rn=$1,0001+0.101=$909.09

For computing price of the bond with11%yield to maturity:

  Price of the Bond=FV1+rn=$1,0001+0.112=$811.62

Price at which the bond will sell in the next year:

  Price=FV1+Forward rate1=$1,0001+0.1201=$892.78

The expected rate of return for two-year bond is as follows:

  Rate of Return=$892.78$811.621=10%

Thus, the expected rate of return for two-year bond is10%.
