A man invests his savings in two accounts, one paying 6 percent and the other paying 10 percent simple interest per year. He puts twice as much in the lower-yielding account because it is less risky. His annual interest is 6534 dollars. How much did he invest at each rate? Your answer is total in the account paying 6 percent interest is total in the account paying 10 percent interest is
Suppose a 10-year, $1,000 bond with a(n) 11% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading for a price of $970.75. a. What is the bond's yield to maturity (expressed as an APR with semiannual compounding)? b. If the bond's yield to maturity changes to 9% APR, what will the bond's price be?
Two bonds have identical times to maturity, face value, and coupon rates. The current price of the first one is $105 and the second is being traded at $110. Which should have the higher yield to matury? Why? You purchase the $110 bond today and sell it off next year at $108. What is its one-year rate of return (assume the bond’s coupon rate is 5% and its face value is $100)? If the expected inflation over the course of the year is 2%, what would the ex-ante real rate of return be for the bond on part (b)?
A zero-coupon bond is a bond that is sold for less than its face value (that is, it is discounted) and has no periodic interest payments. Instead, the bond is redeemed for its face value at maturity. Thus, in this sense, interest is paid at maturity. Suppose that a zero-coupon bond sells for $8,800 and can be redeemed in 20-years for its face value of $48,000. What is the annual compound rate of return? Annual compound rate = % (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
A four-year bond has an 6 percent coupon rate and a face value of $1,000 . If the bond's current price is $817.75 , calculate the yield to maturity of the bond (assuming annual interest payments). A) 8 percent B) 10 percent C) 12 percent D) 6 percent
6) You purchased an annual interest coupon bond one year ago that had nine years remaining to maturity at that time. The coupon interest rate was 10%, and the par value was $1,000. At the time you purchased the bond, the yield to maturity was 8%. If you sold the bond after receiving the first interest payment and the yield to maturity continued to be 8%, your annual total rate of return on holding the bond for that year would have been A) 8.00%. B) 7.82%. C) 7.00%. D) 11.95%. E) None of the options are correct. Provide an accurate answer with justification.
Suppose that a bond is purchased between coupon periods. The days between the settlement date and the next coupon period is 115. There are 183 days in the coupon period. Suppose that this bond has a coupon rate of 7.4% and there are 10 semiannual coupon payments remaining. Assuming that the par value is $100, what is the “clean price” for this bond if a 5.6% discount rate is used? What is the accrued interest for this bond? What is the “dirty price?”
Question 4 The equivalent rate of interest for a discount rate of 10.5% for 60 days is 104.9825%. Hint: An interest rate r and discount rate d are said to be equivalent if these two simple rates give the same present value for an amount due in the future. Thus, r = d/(1 - dt) and d = r/(1 + rt)
which of the following bonds should you buy when interests rates are expected to go up? a) 5 year , 15% coupon b) 5 year 5% coupon c) 25 year 15% coupon d) 25 year 5% coupon
