Consider these long-term investment data:
• The price of a 10-year $100 par zero coupon inflation-indexed bond is $80.55.
• A real-estate property is expected to yield 2% per quarter (nominal) with a SD of the (effective) quarterly rate of 10%.

(8 points) Consider two coupon-bonds, one is a 3-year $100 par-valued bond with 5% annual coupon payment and annual yield rate 4%; the other is a 3-year $100 par-valued bond with 5% annual coupon payment and annual yield rate 6%. Which one do you think is a better investment and why?
10. A 10-year zero-coupon bond has a yield of 6 percent. Through a series of unfortunate circumstances, expected inflation rises from 2 percent to 3 percent. (L04) a. Assuming the nominal yield rises by an amount equal to the rise in expected inflation, compute the change in the price of the bond. b. Suppose that expected inflation is still 2 percent, but the probability that it will move to 3 percent has risen. Describe the consequences for the price of...
18. Bill buys a 10-year 1000 par value 6% bond with semi-annual coupons. The price assumes a nominal yield of 6%, compounded semi-annually. As Bill receives each coupon payment, he immediately puts the money into an account earning interest at an annual effective rate of i. At the end of 10 years, immediately after Bill receives the final coupon payment and the redemption value of the bond, Bill has earned an annual effective yield of 7% on his investment in...
