- The YTM on a bond is the interest rate you earn on your investment if interest rates don't change. If you actually sell the bond before it matures, your realized return is known as the holding period yield (HPY). a. Suppose that today you buy a bond with an annual coupon rate of 7 percent for $1,160. The bond has 15 years to maturity. What rate of return do you expect to earn on your investment? Assume a par value of $1,000. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b- Two years from now, the YTM on your bond has declined by 1 percent, and you 1. decide to sell.

- a) You hold a consol that pays a coupon in perpetuity. The current interest rate is i , and the average expectation in the market is that this will remain unchanged. What will be the price of the consol today? b) In the next period however, the interest rate changes unexpectedly to i 0. What is the new price of the bond? If the bond is sold at the beginning of that next period, what is the yield from the consol? Does the yield increase or decrease if 0 > i?arrow_forwardWhat should be the current price of a 3-year maturity bond with a 12% coupon rate paid annually? And if you purchase the coupon bond at the price you calculated in the above, what would your total expected rate of return over the next year be (coupon plus price change)? Ignore taxes.arrow_forwardAfter recently receiving a bonus, you have decided to add some bonds to your investment portfolio. You have narrowed your choice down to the following bonds (assume semiannual payments): Which bond would you rather own if you expect market rates to fall by 2% across the maturity spectrum?
