a. The current price of the bond is computed as shown below:
Annual coupon payment is computed as follows:
= 7.6% x $ 1,000
= $ 76
= $ 76 / 1.0551 + $ 76 / 1.0552 + $ 76 / 1.0553 + $ 76 / 1.0554 + $ 76 / 1.0555 + $ 76 / 1.0556 + $ 76 / 1.0557 + $ 76 / 1.0558 + $ 76 / 1.0559 + $ 76 / 1.05510 + $ 76 / 1.05511 + $ 76 / 1.05512 + $ 76 / 1.05513 + $ 76 / 1.05514 + $ 1,000 / 1.05514
= $ 1,201.38 Approximately
So the correct answer is option d i.e. $ 1,201.38
b. The bond's price is computed as shown below:
Coupon payment is computed as follows:
= 6.25% / 2 x $ 1,000 (Divided by 2 since semi annual compounding )
= $ 31.25
N is computed as follows:
= 10 x 2 (Multiplied by 2 since semi annual compounding )
= 20
YTM is computed as follows:
= 9% / 2 (Divided by 2 since semi annual compounding )
= 4.5% or 0.045
So the price of the bond will be as follows:
= $ 31.25 / 1.0451 + $ 31.25 / 1.0452 + $ 31.25 / 1.0453 + $ 31.25 / 1.0454 + $ 31.25 / 1.0455 + $ 31.25 / 1.0456 + $ 31.25 / 1.0457 + $ 31.25 / 1.0458 + $ 31.25 / 1.0459 + $ 31.25 / 1.04510 + $ 31.25 / 1.04511 + $ 31.25 / 1.04512 + $ 31.25 / 1.04513 + $ 31.25 / 1.04514 + $ 31.25 / 1.04515 + $ 31.25 / 1.04516 + $ 31.25 / 1.04517 + $ 31.25 / 1.04518 + $ 31.25 / 1.04519 + $ 31.25 / 1.04520 + $ 1,000 / 1.04520
= $ 821.14 Approximately
So the correct answer is option c i.e. $ 821.14
c. The stock's current price is computed as follows:
= Expected dividend at the end of the year / ( required rate of return - growth rate )
= $ 0.75 / ( 0.105 - 0.075 )
= $ 25.00
So the correct answer is option b i.e. $ 25.00
d. The current stock price is computed as follows:
= Dividend just paid ( 1 + growth rate ) / (required rate of return - growth rate )
= $ 1.50 ( 1 + 0.04 ) / ( 0.085 - 0.04 )
= $ 34.67 Approximately
So the correct answer is option d i.e. $ 34.67
