You buy a 6% semi-annual coupon-bond for $1122.47 with a one-year maturity. Six months later six-month rates are 5% (actually 2.5% return over a six-month period). Diagram the cash flows and calculate the actual realized return with coupon reinvested.
Assumed Bond Par Value = $ 1000, Bond's Purchase Price = $ 1122.47, Bond Tenure = 1 year or 2 six-month period, Bond Coupon = 6%, Coupon Frequency: Semi-Annual
Semi-Annual Coupon = 0.06 x 1000 x 0.5 = $ 30
Yield 6-month later = 5 % per annum
Therefore, Bond Sale Price = S = [Par Value + Coupon] (both at bond maturity 6-month later) / (1.025) = [1000+30]/(1.025) = $ 1004.878
Final Wealth Value at the end of first 6-months = Coupon Received + Sale Price = 30 + 1004.878 = $ 1034.878
Initial Investment = Bond Purchase Price = $ 1122.47
Therefore, Actual Realized Return = [(1034.878 - 1122.47) / 1122.47] x 100 = - 0.078 or -7.8 % over a 6-month period
Annualized Actual Return = - 7.8 x 2 = - 15.6 %

(C) An investor is investing in a bond with a 6-year maturity with 6% annual coupon at PAR. The investor plans to invest the bond for 4 years before selling it off. Assume further that in the following years interest rates follow a downtrend, so that the coupon received in year 1 is invested for three years at 4.5%; the coupon received in year 2 is reinvested for two years at 3%, and the coupon received in year 3 is...
Consider two bonds. The first is a 6% coupon bond with six years to maturity, and a yield to maturity of 4.5% annual rate, compounded semi-annually. The second bond is a 2% coupon bond with six years to maturity and a yield to maturity of 5.0%, annual rate, compounded semi-annually. 1. Calculate the current price per $100 of face value of each bond. (You may use financial calculator to do question 1 and 2, I'm just unsure how to use...
You buy a 20-year bond with a coupon rate of 7.8% that has a yield to maturity of 9.9%. (Assume a face value of $1,000 and semiannual coupon payments.) Six months later, the yield to maturity is 10.9%. What is your return over the 6 months?
6. (20 points) Suppose months, maturity in 12 months, and maturity in 18 months. Suppose the 6 month bond is a zero-coupon bond and has a theoretical price of $101.
