When the term structure is upward sloping it implies that the long term bonds have a higher rate of interest.Also zero rates are greater than annuity rates for the same term of maturity. Lower coupon bonds have higher yield.
The reverse is true in case of downward sloping yield curve. The higher coupon bonds give a greater proportion of their cash flows in earlier years. Hence the high coupon bonds have higher yield.
Is the yield on high-coupon bonds more likely to be higher than that on low-coupon bonds...
If yields on long-term bonds are lower than the yields on short-term bonds, the term structure is said to be Question 10 options: upward sloping downward sloping flat humped
Since high yield corporate bonds are the bonds issued by low quality firms, their yield are usually higher than other bonds. True or False?
The current yield curve for default-free zero-coupon bonds is as follows: Maturity (Years) 10 YTM (%) 10.5% 11.5 12.5 points a. What are the implied 1-year forward rates? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) eBook Forward Rate Maturity 2 years 3 years Print References b. Assume that the pure expectations hypothesis of the term structure is correct. If market expectations are accurate, what will be the yield to maturity on 1-year zero-coupon bonds next...
The prices of low-coupon bonds tend to be less sensitive to a given change in interest rates than high coupon bonds, other things held constant. O O True False There is an inverse relationship between bonds' quality ratings and their required rates of return. Thus, the required return is lowest for AAA-rated bonds, and required returns increase as the bond ratings get lower. O True or False What's TRUE regarding long-term and short-term bonds (assume they have the same par...
You observe that the yield on one-year U.S. Treasury debt is higher than the yield on five-year U.S. Treasury debt. This could be the case because: 1. Impossible. The yield curve can never be downward sloping. 2. Investors expect inflation will be decreasing. 3. Investors require additional compensation since bonds with shorter maturities are always less liquid. 4. The default risk-premium is decreasing.
Which of the following statements is true A Interest rates on bonds of different maturities tend to move together over time O B. Yield curves almost always slope downward. O c. when short-term interest rates are low. yield curves tend to be inverted. D. When short-term interest rates are high, yield curves tend to be upward sloping According to the segmented markets theory of the term structure of interest rates, if bondholders prefer short-term bonds to long-term bonds, the yield...

OA. low earnings in the future O B. low revenue levels in the future O C. increasing operating expenses, compared to sales, in the future O D. high earnings in the future
Suppose the yield curve of an economy becomes B from A (the yield curve became flattened), which of the following statements are CORRECT? (*Note: This question was set to be multiple answer instead of multiple choice by mistake. You are supposed to choose only one of the following options.) i. Duration of a coupon bonds have been increased. ii. % Change in duration for high coupon bonds are higher for high coupon bonds than small coupon bonds (both have the...
If the yield curve is downward sloping, what is the yield to maturity on a 10-year Treasury coupon bond, relative to that on a 1-year T-bond? and why? . The yield on the 10-year bond is less than the yield on a 1-year bond The yield on a 10-year bond will always be higher than the yield on a 1-year bond because of maturity premiums. It is impossible to tell without knowing the coupon rates of the bonds. The yields...

The lower coupon bond will be sold for premium. C.The high coupon bond will have higher interest rate risk., D.The low coupon rate bond will have higher interest rate risk.?
