A zero-coupon bond has a beta of 0.7 and promises to pay $1000 next year with a probability of 90%. If the bond defaults, it will pay nothing. One -year Treasury securities are yielding 1.7%, and the equity premium is 5%. What is the promised rate of return on this bond? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Using CAPM
Expected Return = Rf + Beta* Equity Premium
Expected Return = 1.7% + 0.7*5% = 5.2%
Expected Cash Flow after 1 year = Prob of Payment * Payoff + Prob of default * Payoff = 0.9*1000 + 0.1*0 = $900
Market value of Bond today = Expected Cash Flow after 1 year / (1+expected return) = 900 / 1.052 = $855.51
Promised rate of return = (Promised return - expected return ) / Expected Return = (1000-855.51)/855.51 =16.89%
