(a)
To calculate:
Yield to maturity for two-year bond where bond with par value
Introduction:
Yield to maturity is the expected
b.(i)
To calculate:
Compound yield to maturity fora two-year bond where bond with par value
Introduction:
Yield to maturity is the expected rate of return on a held to maturity bond. However, it is the internal rate of return only in case of held to maturity bond as it makes the present value of future cash flows of bond and its current price equal.
b.(ii)

- Suppose a 10-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 is currently selling for 1,135.90, producing a nominal yield to maturity of 8%. However, the bond can be called after 5 years for a price of 1,050. (1) What is the bonds nominal yield to call (YTC)? (2) If you bought this bond, do you think you would be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC? Why?arrow_forwardBond Yields and Rates of Return A 10-year, 12% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 may be called in 4 years at a call price of 1,060. The bond sells for 1,100. (Assume that the bond has just been issued.) a. What is the bonds yield to maturity? b. What is the bonds current yield? c. What is the bonds capital gain or loss yield? d. What is the bonds yield to call?arrow_forwardYield to Maturity and Yield to Call Arnot International’s bonds have a current market price of $1,200. The bonds have an 11% annual coupon payment, a $1,000 face value, and 10 years left until maturity. The bonds may be called in 5 years at 109% of face value (call price = $1,090). What is the yield to maturity? What is the yield to call if they are called in 5 years? Which yield might investors expect to earn on these bonds, and why? The bond’s indenture indicates that the call provision gives the firm the right to call them at the end of each year beginning in Year 5. In Year 5, they may be called at 109% of face value, but in each of the next 4 years the call percentage will decline by 1 percentage point. Thus, in Year 6 they may be called at 108% of face value, in Year 7 they may be called at 107% of face value, and so on. If the yield curve is horizontal and interest rates remain at their current level, when is the latest that investors might expect the firm to call the bonds?arrow_forward
- Consider a bond with a face value of $2,000 that pays a coupon of $150 for 10 years. Suppose the bond is purchased at $500, and can be resold next year for $400. What is the rate of return of the bond? What is the yield to maturity of the bond?arrow_forwardAn analyst observes a 10- year, 10% semi annual-pay bond. The face amount is £1,000. The analyst believes that the yield to maturity for this bond should be 15% based on this yield estimate, what would be the amount ? what is the method to solve this equation and the solution? Thank you.arrow_forwardA bond with a face value of $1,000 has 10 years until maturity, carries a coupon rate of 9%, and sells for $1,100. Interest is paid annually. Assume a face value of $1,000 and annual coupon payments. 1) If the bond has a yield to maturity of 9% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? 2) What will be the rate of return on the bond? 3) If the inflation rate during the year is 3%, what is the real rate of return on the bond? Please show workings with formulas.arrow_forward
- Consider a 10-year bond with current price of $98.4 and a duration of 9.1 years. Suppose the yield on the bond is 9.6% per year with continuous compounding. What is the predicted change in the price (in dollars) of the bond if the yield increases by 0.4%? (required precision: 0.01 +/- 0.01)arrow_forwardA bond has 10 years until maturity, carries a coupon rate of 9%, and sells for $1,100. Interest is paid annually. a) If the bond has a yeild to maturity of 9% 1 year from now, what will its price be at that time? b) What will be the rate of return on the bond? c) Now assume that interest is paid semannually. What will be the rate of return on the bond? d) If the inflation rate during the year is 3% what is the real rate of return on the bond?arrow_forwardWhat is the semi-annual coupon bond’s nominal yield to maturity (YTM), if the years to maturity is 15 years, and sells for 105% with coupons rate of 10%? Assume the par value of the bond is $1,000. Using a financial calculatorarrow_forward
