Suppose you purchase a
30-year
zero-coupon bond with a yield to maturity of
5.5 %
You hold the bond for five years before selling it.a. If the bond's yield to maturity is
5.5 %
when you sell it, what is the rate of return of your investment?
b. If the bond's yield to maturity is
6.5 %
when you sell it, what is the rate of return of your investment?
c. If the bond's yield to maturity is
4.5 %
when you sell it, what is the rate of return of your investment?
d. Even if a bond has no chance of default, is your investment risk free if you plan to sell it before it matures? Explain.
a. If the bond's yield to maturity is
5.5 %
when you sell it, what is the rate of return of your investment?The rate of return of your investment is
nothing%.
(Round to two decimal places.)
a. Purchase price = (100 / 1.055)^30 = 20.07. Sale price = (100
/ 1.055)^25
= 26.22. Return = (26.22 / 20.07)1/5– 1 = 5.50%.
I.e., since YTM is the same at purchase and sale, IRR = YTM.
b. Purchase price = (100 / 1.065)^30 = 15.11. Sale price = (100
/ 1.065)^25 = 20.27.
Return = (20.27 / 15.11)1/5 – 1 = 1.7%. I.e., since YTM rises, IRR
< initial YTM.
c. Purchase price = (100 / 1.045)^30 = 26.71. Sale price = (100
/ 1.045)^25 = 33.27.
Return = (33.27 / 26.71)1/5– 1 = 10.15%. I.e., since YTM falls, IRR
> initial YTM.
d. if you sell prior to maturit then you are exposed to the risk
that the YTM may
change in due coarse
