Quantitative Problems
1. You are considering buying a bond that matures in
10 years from today. The par value of the bond is
$10,000 and the coupon rate is 7%. If the current
market interest rates are 5%, what is the bond price
today if the coupon is paid annually?
3. Suppose there are two bonds you are considering:
Bond A. Bond B
Maturity (years) 20. 30
Coupon rate (%)
(paid semiannually)
12. 8
Par value. $1,000. $1,000
a. If both bonds had a required rate of return of 10%,
what would the bonds’ prices be?
b. Explain what it means when a bond is selling at
a discount, a premium, or at its face amount (par
value). Based on results in part (a), would you
consider both bonds to be selling at a discount,
premium, or at par?
10. Consider two $10,000 face-value corporate bonds.
One is currently selling for $9,980 and matures in 15
years. The other bond sells for $9,350 and matures in
3 years. Calculate the current yield for both bonds if
both have a coupon rate equal to 5%. Which current
yield is a better approximation of the yield to matu-
rity? (Assume a yearly coupon payment.)
