QUESTION 3 Consider a 6.5%-coupon (semi-annual) bond with 9 years until maturity. If the price of the bond is $139.90, what is the yield-to-maturity of the bond? State your answer as a percentage; e.g. if the answer is 5.00%, write 5.00 rather than 0500. QUESTION 4 What is the yield-to-maturity of a 7-year, 5%-coupon bond with a price of $93.00? Assume the bond has a par value of $100 and pays coupons semi-annually. State your answer as a percentage; e.g. if the answer is 5.00%, write 5.00 rather than .0500.

Bond Value as Maturity Approaches An investor has two bonds in his portfolio. Each bond matures in 4 years, has a face value of 1,000, and has a yield to maturity equal to 9.6%. One bond, Bond C, pays an annual coupon of 10%; the other bond, Bond Z, is a zero coupon bond. Assuming that the yield to maturity of each bond remains at 9.6% over the next 4 years, what will be the price of each of the bonds at the following time periods? Fill in the following table:
Yield 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?
Question 3 (Bond and Equity Valuation) Bond A is a $1,000, 6% quarterly coupon bond with 5 years to maturity. (a) If you bought Bond A today at a yield (APR) of 8%, what is your purchase price? Is this a premium or discount bond? Why? (b) One year later, Bond A's YTM (APR) has gone down to 6% and you sell it immediately after receiving the coupon. (i) What is the current yield? (ii) What is the capital gains yield? (iii) What is the one-year total rate of return (in APR) if the coupons are reinvested at 2% per quarter during the holding period? (iv) Can Bond A’s one-year total rate of return be determined correctly by simply adding up the current yield and the capital gains yield? Explain your answer without calculations.
Question 1. Duration and Banking Consider a 5-year bond with annual coupon payments. The bond has a face value (prin- cipal) of $100 and sells for $95. Its coupon rate is 3%. (The coupon rate is the ratio between the coupon value and the face value). The face value is paid at the maturity year in addition to the last coupon payment. 1. Calculate the bond's yield to maturity (YTM) and duration using its YTM. 2. Suppose the bond's YTM changes in the same way as a 5-year T-bill interest rate. Use the bond's modified duration to evaluate the relative change in the 5-year bond's value if the interest rate on 5-year T-bills falls by one basis point, that is, by 0.0001. This part was extracted from the balance sheet of the First Bank of Australia: Assets (Billion AUD) Bond 80 Liabilities (Billion AUD) Fixed-rate liabilities 60 where "Bond" here refers to the bond we specified above and the fixed-rate liabilities (banks future payment obligations) have an average duration of 4 years and YTM of…
