A five year bond with a 5% coupon is sold to yield 5%. you look at the yield curve and observe the following
Year: 1 2 3 4 5
YTM: 1% 2% 3% 4% 5%
Calculate the two possible prices for the bond.
ASSUMING FACE OR PAR VALUE OF 1000
1.
Price of the bond=1000 as coupon rate is same as yield
2.
Price of the
bond=50/1.01+50/1.02^2+50/1.03^3+50/1.04^4+1050/1.05^5=1008.763157

Suppose that you observe the following prices of three zero-coupon bonds issued by the government: YTM (spot rate) Price 985.22 1-year zero-coupon bond X 2-year zero-coupon bond Y 3-year zero-coupon bond Z Face value 1,000 1,000 1,000 P2 4% 901.94 Questions: A. (4 pts) Draw a yield curve based on the above three zero-coupon bonds. Comment on the shape. B. (6 pts) Calculate the implied 1-year forward interest rate, two years from now (i.e. f2.a)
Assume that the ‘expectations theory’ fully explains the Treasury Bond Yield Curve. The 10-year zero-coupon bond maturing in 2030 has a yield-to-maturity (YTM) of 3.5%. Assume that instead of simply buying the 10 year, you decide you will: • buy a 5-year bond today, then, when that bond matures in 2025, • then, you will buy a new 5-year bond that starts in 2025 and will mature in 2030. Scenario A – Upward sloping yield curve. a) if today’s 5...
15.8 You observe the following term structure: Effective Annual YTM 1-year zero-coupon bond 7.6 % 2-year zero-coupon bond 7.7 3-year zero-coupon bond 7.8 4-year zero-coupon bond 7.9 a. If you believe that the term structure next year will be the same as today’s, calculate the return on (i) the 1-year zero and (ii) the 4-year zero. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 1 decimal place.) b. Which bond provides a greater expected 1-year return? 1-year zero-coupon bond...
37. Consider a five-year bond with a 10% coupon that has a present yield to maturity of 8%. If interest rates remain constant, one year from now the price of this bond will be: a) Par b) Higher c) Lower d) The same e) None of the above 38. ABC issued in 2018 a fifteen-year bond with coupon interest rate 4% and €1,000 face value. Today this bond is sold at €900. Which is the bond’s current yield? a) 0.062...
The current yield curve for default-free zero-coupon bonds is as follows: Maturity (years) YTM 1 9.5 % 2 10.5 3 11.5 a. What are the implied one-year forward rates? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Maturity (years) YTM Forward Rate 1 9.5 % 2 10.5 % % 3 11.5 % % b. Assume that the pure expectations hypothesis of the term structure is correct. If market expectations are accurate, what will the pure yield...
a) (5 points) Calculate the price of a $1000 face value five year coupon bond when the yield to maturity is 5%, and the coupon rate is 6%. b) (5 points) Now suppose that the yield to maturity rises to 7%. Calculate the new price of this coupon bond. c) (5 points) Suppose you purchased the bond at it original price (yield to maturity = 5%) held it for one year (collected one coupon payment) and sold it at the...
1a) Question: Suppose you observe the following zero-coupon bond prices per $1 of maturity payment: 0.96397 (1-year), 0.93538 (2-year), 0.92247 (3-year). Compute the 3-year continuously compounded zero-coupon bond yield. Answers: a. 2.69% b. 4.50% c. 2.42% d. 1.40% e. 8.40%
Zero-coupon bonds: a. A ten-year, zero coupon bond trades at a Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) of 3.5%. Assume you buy $1000 worth of the bond today. How much will it be worth 10 years from now at maturity? b. A 5-year, zero coupon bond trades at a Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) of 2.5%. Assume you buy $1000 worth of the bond today. How much will it be worth 5 years from now at maturity? C. Assume you invest $1,131.41 today and receive $1,410.60 five...

What is the price today of a two year default-free bond with a face value of $1000 and an annual coupon rate of 6%. Does this bond trade at a discount, at par, or at a premium? b. Consider a four year, default-free bond with annual coupon payments and a face value of $1000 that is issued...
