Bond J has a coupon rate of 3 percent. Bond K has a coupon rate of 9 percent. Both bonds have 18 years to maturity, make semiannual payments, and have a face value of $1000 and a YTM of 6 percent. a.

An insurance company must make payments to a customer of $10 million in one year and $4 million in five years. The yield curve is flat at 10%.a. If it wants to fully fund and immunize its obligation to this customer with a single issue of a zero-coupon bond, what maturity bond must it purchase?b. What must be the face value and market value of that zero-coupon bond?
A firm has issued bonds with a remaining maturity of 1 year, face value of $100 and an annual coupon rate of 5% (there is only one coupon payment left, to be paid one year from now). You observe that the price of the bonds is $94. What is the yield on the bonds today? Suppose that investors expect a 4% return on other bonds with similar maturity and risk and forecast that if the bond defaults, bond holders will get paid 70% of the coupon payments and principal value they are owed (i.e., a 70% recovery rate). What is the expected cash flow of the bonds at time 1? What is the probability of default implied by current bond prices?
A corporate bond with a 7.600 percent coupon has 15 years left to maturity. It has had a credit rating of BB and a yield to maturity of 9.9 percent. The firm has recently become more financially stable and the rating agency is upgrading the bonds to BBB. The new appropriate discount rate will be 8.8 percent. (Assume interest payments are semiannual.) What will be the change in the bond's price in dollars? What will be the change in the percentage terms? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. Change in bond price $78.90 Change in bond percent %
Yellow Inc. offers bonds with a coupon rate of 6%. The coupon paid annually and the market's required yield to maturity (YTM) is 8%. The par value of the bond is $800 and the bond matures in 5 years. a) What is the theoretical value of the bonds? b) Determine whether these bonds are traded at par, discount or premium! (We assume an efficient financial market.) There are no separators between thousands of magnitude: no spaces, no dots.
YOUR BANK is thinking to issue a regular coupon bond (debenture) with the following particulars: Maturity = 3 years, Coupon rate = 9%, Face value = $1,500, Coupon payments are annual and paid at the end of a year. In the fixed-income securities market, the yield curve for the bond similar to the one issued by YOUR BANK is flat and it is 7.500% per annum continuously compounded. As per you, what should be the issue (offer) price per bond of YOUR BANK in US dollars?
Dougal's bonds currently sell for $1,250. They pay a $90 annual coupon, have a 25-year maturity, and a $1,000 par value, but they can be called in 5 years at $1,050. Assume that no costs other than the call premium would be incurred to call and refund the bonds, and also assume that the yield curve is horizontal, with rates expected to remain at current levels on into the future. What is the difference between this bond's YTM and its YTC? (Subtract the YTC from the YTM; it is possible to get a negative answer.) Bond valuation related problems should be solved by using a financial calculator or MS excel spreadsheet. Accordingly, you must show the values of all relevant time valu of money variables
An insurance company must make payments to a customer of $20 million in 1 year and $8 million in 5 years. The yield curve is flat at 10%.

(in years, use four decimal places) What must be the face value and market value of that zero-coupon bond? (in millions, use two decimal places)
