- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Bond A pays semi-annual coupons, pays its next coupon in 6 months, and matures in 6 years. Bond B pays annual coupons, pays its next coupon in 1 year, and matures in 10 years. Both bonds have a face value of $1,000.00 and both bonds have the same yield-to-maturity. Bond A has a coupon rate of 12.67 percent and is priced at $921.60. Bond B has a coupon rate of 8.24 percent. What is the price of bond B?arrow_forwardFirst, it is known that two bonds have the same redemption value and coupon rate and are priced at the same yield rate. The first bond has a tenor of 4 years, while the second bond has a tenor of 10 years. The market yield rate then falls by 1% such that the prices of the first and second bonds change by D1% and D₂%, respectively, from their initial prices. Determine the relationship between D1 and D₂ Notes: |x| is the absolute value of x. a. D1 and D2 have negative signs and |D1|>|D2|.b. D1 and D2 have a positive sign and |D1|>|D2|.c.

Bond B pays $62 annual interest and has a market value of $910. It has two years to maturity. Par value of the bonds is $1,000. A. What is the current yield on both bonds? B. Which bond should be chosen and why? C. A drawback of current yield is that is doesn't consider the total life of the bond. E.g. Yield to maturity on Bond A is 8.33 percent. What is the yield to maturity on Bond B? D. Is your answer changed from parts B and C based on which bond should be chosen?arrow_forward
- Consider a bond with a face value of $1,000 that sells for an initial price of $700. It will pay no coupons for the first nine years and will then pay 11% coupons for the remaining 29 years.

A 10 per cent coupon is available on an 8-year Treasury note. Both bonds have the same maturity return. What claims are valid in the event that the maturity returns on both bonds rise by the same value?A. All bond yields are increasing of the same quantity.b. All bond rates would fall by the same rate. b.C. Two bonds' premiums will continue to be the same.d. All bonds will fall in price, but a 10-year bond will fall more than an 8-year bond in price.e. All the bonds would decrease in prices, but the bond for 8 years has a larger fall in price percentage than the bond for 10 years.arrow_forwardA bond is a debt investment in which an investor loans money to an entity (typically corporate or governmental) which borrows the funds for a defined period of time at a variable or fixed interest rate. Suppose the bond issued by Logan Inc. has 5-year maturity with coupon of 12%. 4.1. If the yield to maturity is 10%, compute the bond value. Compute the modified duration of this bond. Use the modified duration to estimate the change in price if the interest rate decreases by 0.50%. 4.2. 4.3.arrow_forward
- How do investors calculate the net present value of a bond? If a bond's coupon payment is C, the interest rate is R, and the bond's coupon payment is made in each period for T years at which time the original principal, P, is repaid, then the bond's present discounted value (PDV) is C A. PDV = + (1 + R) (1 + R? (1 + R)T B. PDV = C(1 + R) + C(1 + R)2 - + C(1 + R)T + P(1 + R)T + C P OC. PDV = - + R R2 RT RT C D. PDV = P + C C (1 + R) (1+R)2 (1 + R)T C E. PDV = + + + + (1 + R) (1+ R)2 (1 + R)T (1 + R)T If the interest rate is 9 percent, what is the present value of a perpetuity that pays $50,000 each year, forever? The perpetuity's value is $ (Enter a numeric response rounded to two decimal places.)arrow_forwarder the following: i. Two bonds, both with 10 years to maturity, have the same yield to maturity (equal to 5%) but different coupon rates. Coupon payments are annual. Bond A has a Macaulay duration of 7.06 and bond B has a Macaulay duration of 8.76. Based on this information, explain which bond you think has the lower coupon rate. Be sure to present your reasoning. Bond A in part (i) has a face value of $100 and a coupon rate of 4.5%. What is its price?arrow_forwardSuppose that your firm issued a bond with 10 years until maturity, a face value of $1000, and a coupon rate of 7% (annual payments). The yield to maturity on this bond when it was issued was 6%. For questions e-g, assume that this bond DOES NOT pay any coupon a) What was its price when it was issued? b) For this zero-coupon bond, suppose it is actually sold for $500, what should the YTM be?arrow_forward
