Question 1 Input area:

Coupon Required rate of return

10% 8%

Output area:

The yield to maturity is the required rate of return on a bond expressed as a nominal annual interest rate. For noncallable bonds, the yield to maturity and required rate of return are interchangeable terms. Unlike YTM and required return, the coupon rate is a fixed percentage of par over the life of the bond used to set the coupon payment amount. For the example given, the coupon rate on the bond is still 10%, and the YTM is 8%.

Chapter 7
Question 2 Output area:

Price and yield move in opposite directions; if interest rates rise, the price of the bond will fall. This is because fixed coupon payments determined by the fixed coupon rate are not as valuable when interest rates rise--hence, the price of the bond decreases.

Question 24 Output area:

a) Bond price is the present value term when valuing the cash flows from a bond; YTM is the interest rate used in valuing the cash flows from a bond. The bond price and YTM are inversely related. If the YTM increases, the bond price decreases and if the YTM decreases, the bond price increases. b) If the coupon rate is higher than the required return on a bond, the bond will sell at a premium, since it provides periodic income in the form of coupon payments in excess of that required by investors on other similar bonds. If the coupon rate is lower than the required return on a bond, the bond will sell at a discount, since it provides insufficient coupon payments compared to that required by investors on the similar bonds. For premium bonds, the coupon rate exceeds the YTM; for discount bonds, the YTM exceeds the coupon rate, and for bonds selling at par, the YTM is equal to the coupon rate. c) Current yield is defined as the annual coupon payment divided by the current bond price. For premium bonds, the current yield exceeds the YTM, for discount bonds the current yield is less thatn the YTM, and for bonds selling at par value, the current yield is equal to the YTM. In all cases, the current yield plus the expected one-period capital gains yield of the bond must be equal to the YTM.

All else held constant, premium bonds pay high

current income while having price depreciation as maturity nears; discount bonds do not pay high current income but have price appreciation as maturity nears. For either bond, the total return, is still 9%, but this return is distributed differently between current income and capital gains.

This is the rate of return you expect to earn on your investment when you purchase the bond. b) Price of bond when sold Holding period yield $ 1,116.92 9.17%

The realized HPY is greater than the expected YTM when the bond was bought because interest rates have dropped by 1%; bond prices rise when yields fall.
