1. Assume you want to find yield-to-call on a 20 year, 10.5%, $1,000 par value deferred call bond that is currently trading in the market at $1,204, but has five years to go to first call, at which time it can be called in at a price of $1,805. Find the yield to call, assuming an annual compounding.

Assume the Liquidity Premium Theory of the Term Structure of Interest Rates holds. The WSJ quotes 0.25% annual yield on a one-year T-note and 0.5% annual yield on a two-year T-note. Suppose the annual yield on a one-year T-note is expected to stay at 0.25% over the next 2 years. What must be the liquidity premium on a two-year T-note?
Suppose that the yield curve shows that the one-year bond yield is 8 percent, the two-year yield is 7 percent, and the three-year yield is 7 percent. Assume that the risk premium on the one-year bond is zero, the risk premium on the two-year bond is 1 percent, and the risk premium on the three-year bond is 2 percent. a. What are the expected one-year interest rates next year and the following year? The expected one-year interest rate next year = The expected one-year interest rate the following year b. If the risk premiums were all zero, as in the expectations hypothesis, what would the slope of the yield curve be? The slope of the yield curve would be (Click to select) % %
For the following questions, assume the normal case that coupon payments are semi-annual. a. What is the yield to maturity on a 10-year, 5.3% coupon bond if the bond is currently selling for $1,000? b. For the bond above, suppose that immediately after purchase market rates change to 3.00%. If you hold the bond for 3 years and then sell it, what is your effective annual return on this investment? a. The YTM is % (enter response rounded to decimal places; i.e., x.xx%) b. Your effective annual return is % (enter response rounded to decimal places; i.e., x.xx%)
Assume that you conduct a relative value trade and close it out after 5 days. Your 5-day return is 0.84%. Annualize this return as a Bond Equivalent Yield (BEY). Assume that a year has 365 days. State your answer as a percent, but without the percent sign. So, for example, if your answer was 0.1053, which is 10.53%, you would answer 10.53.
Assume the spot rates for the next six years are given by:s1= 0.03, s2= 0.0385, s3= 0.0446, s4= 0.0490, s5= 0.0521, s6= 0.0543. a) Compute the price of a 5.5% coupon bond (annual coupon payment) with face value $100and maturity six years. b) What is the quasi-modified duration of the bond? c) Determine next year’s spot rates s′1, s′2, s′3, s′4, s′5according to expectation dynamics.
Suppose that a 1-year zero-coupon bond with face value $100 currently sells at $89.75, while a 2-year zero sells at $79.88. You are considering the purchase of a 2-year-maturity bond making annual coupon payments. The face value of the bond is $100, and the coupon rate is 10% per year. Required: What is the yield to maturity of the 2-year zero? What is the yield to maturity of the 2-year coupon bond? What is the forward rate for the second year? If the expectations hypothesis is accepted, what are (1) the expected price of the coupon bond at the end of the first year and (2) the expected holding-period return on the coupon bond over the first year? Will the expected rate of return be higher or lower if you accept the liquidity preference hypothesis?
An 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.
Current 1-yr interest rate is 12%. Forward rate during 2nd year is 9% and is expected to rise by 0.5% each of the next 3 years. Calculate YTM for 2-yr, 3-yr, and 4-yr bond. Draw the yield curve and explain its shape using appropriate theory of term structure.
For the following questions, assume the normal case that coupon payments are semi-annual. a. What is the yield to maturity on a 12-year, 6.2% coupon bond if the bond is currently selling for $1,000? b. For the bond above, suppose that immediately after purchase market rates change to 3.60%. If you hold the bond for 4 years and then sell it, what is your effective annual return on this investment? % (enter response rounded to decimal places; i.e., x.xx%) b. Your effective annual return is % (enter response rounded to decimal places; i.e., x.xx%) a. The YTM is
Assume that the real risk-free rate of return, k*, is 3%, and it will remain at that level far into the future. Also assume that maturity risk premiums (MRP) increase from zero for bonds that mature in one year or less to a maximum of 1%, and MRP increases by 0.2% for each year to maturity that is greater than one year-that is, MRP equals 0.2% for two-year bond, 0.4% for a three-year bond, and so forth. Following are the expected inflation rates for the next five years: Year Inflation Rate (%) 2017 5 2018 6 2019 7 2020 8 2021 9 a) Compute the interest rate for a one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-year bond. b) If inflation is expected to equal 9% every year after 2021, what should be the interest rate for a 10- and 20-year bond? c) Plot the yield curve for the interest rates you computed in part [a] and [b]. d) Based on the curve (in part c), interpret your findings.
Suppose that a 1-year zero-coupon bond with face value $100 currently sells at $90.44, while a 2-year zero sells at $82.64. You are considering the purchase of a 2-year-maturity bond making annual coupon payments. The face value of the bond is $100, and the coupon rate is 12% per year. Required: a. What is the yield to maturity of the 2-year zero? b. What is the yield to maturity of the 2-year coupon bond? c. What is the forward rate for the second year? d. If the expectations hypothesis is accepted, what are (1) the expected price of the coupon bond at the end of the first year and (2) the expected holding-period return on the coupon bond over the first year? e. Will the expected rate of return be higher or lower if you accept the liquidity preference hypothesis? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A Required B Required C Required D Required E Will the expected rate of return be higher or lower if you accept the liquidity preference hypothesis?…
A 30-year maturity bond making annual coupon payments with a coupon rate of 11.00% has a ation of 13.50 years. The bond currently sells at a yield to maturity of 5.75%. Ducation a. Find the exact dollar price of the bond if its yield to maturity falls to 4.75%. What is the % change in price? b. Assume that you need to make a quick approximation using the duration rule. What is the % change in price as approximated by the duration rule when the yield to maturity falls to 4.75%? c. Does the duration-rule provide a good approximation of the % price change in this case? Why or why not?
