The bond in the middle is callable in February 2015. What is the implied value of the call feature? Assume a par value of $1,000. (Hint: Is there a way to combine the two noncallable issues to create an issue that has the same coupon as the callable bond?)

OA. Bond A has a low coupon rate and a lower price. Bond B has a higher coupon rate and a higher price. Because of the bond price formula, if coupon rates
rise, the yield will fall, which requires prices to fall to keep the yield the same. If both bonds have the same risk profile, the law of one price brings bond
yields to the same level

Q3: Citibank has developed a way of creating a zero-coupon bond, called a strip, from the coupon bearing Treasury bond by selling each of cash flows underlying the coupon-bearing bond as a separate security. You as a treasurer working for Citibank, have a relatively simple trading strategy. You would buy strips and sell them in the forward market. Suppose for example, that the 3-month interest rate is 4% per annum and the spot price of a strip is $70.
What will be the 3-month forward price?
Assuming that actual forward price is 72, formulate an arbitrage strategy.

- PIMCO gives the following example of an Inflation Linked Bond (ILB), called a Treasury Inflation Protected Security (TIPS) in the US. "How do ILBs work? An ILB’s explicit link to a nationally-recognized inflation measure means that any increase in price levels directly translates into higher principal values. As a hypothetical example, consider a $1,000 20-year U.S. TIPS with a 2.5% coupon (1.25% on semiannual basis), and an inflation rate of 4%. The principal on the TIPS note will adjust upward on a daily basis to account for the 4% inflation rate. At maturity, the principal value will be $2,208 (4% per year, compounded semiannually). Additionally, while the coupon rate remains fixed at 2.5%, the dollar value of each interest payment will rise, as the coupon will be paid on the inflation-adjusted principal value. The first semiannual coupon of 1.25% paid on the inflation-adjusted principal of $1,020 is $12.75, while the final semiannual interest payment will be 1.25% of $2,208, which…arrow_forward80 S07-20 Interest Rate Risk [LO2] Bond J has a coupon rate of 3 percent.
