Question

eBook Problem Walk-Through Last year Carson Industries issued a 10-year, 14 % semiannual coupon bond at its par value of $1,000. Currently, the 6 gos 7. bond can be called in 6 years at a price of $1,060 and it sells for $1,300. a. What are the bond's nominal yield to maturity and its nominal yield to call? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places. 9. YTM: % YTC: Would an investor be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC -Select- b. What is the current yield? (Hint: Refer to Footnote 6 for the definition of the current yield and to Table 7.1) Round your answer to two decimal places. % Is this yield affected by whether the bond is likely to be called? I. If the bond is called, the capital gains yield will remain the same but the current yield will be different. II. If the bond is called, the current yield and the capital gains yield will both be different. III. If the bond is called, the current yield and the capital gains yield will remain the same but the coupon rate will be different. IV. If the bond is called, the current yield will remain the same but the capital gains yield will be different. V. If the bond is called, the current yield and the capital gains yield will remain the same. Select c. What is the expected capital gains (or loss) yield for the coming year? Use amounts calculated in above requirements for calculation, if required. Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to two decimal places Is this yield dependent on whether the bond is expected to be called? I. The expected capital gains (or loss) yield for the coming year does not depend on whether or not the bond is expected to be called. II. If the bond is expected to be called, the appropriate expected total return is the YTM. 11. If the bond is not expected to be called, the appropriate expected total return is the YTC. IV. If the bond is expected to be called, the appropriate expected total return will not change. A-Z V. The expected capital gains (or loss) yield for the coming year depends on whether or not the bond is expected to be called. -Select- Check Me 14ork (o anmaininny 716 PM 6/18/2019 C O

Answer 1

As per rules I am answering the first 4 subparts of the question

1: Using financial calculator

Input: FV= 1000,N = 20, PMT=14%*1000/2 = 70

PV = -1300

Solve for I/Y as 4.661357

YTM = 4.661357%*2

= 9.32%

2: : Using financial calculator

Input: FV= 1060,N = 12, PMT=14%*1000/2 = 70

PV = -1300

Solve for I/Y as 4.167734

YTC = 4.167734%*2 = 8.34%

3: YTC

The investor is likely to earn YTC since it is lesser than YTM and so the bond is likely to be called.

4: Current yield = annual coupon/ Price

= 140/ 1300

= 10.77%
