Explanation / Answer

1. Rolling Company bonds have a coupon rate of 8.00 percent, 24 years to maturity, and a current price of $1,186. What is the YTM? The current yield? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

               

  

YTM = rate(nper,pmt,pv,fv)

Nper (indicates the period) = 24

PV (indicates the price) = 1186

PMT (indicate the annual payment) = 1000*8% = 80

FV (indicates the face value) = 1000

Rate (indicates YTM) = ?

YTM = rate( 24,80,-1186,1000)

YTM = 6.46%

  Current yield = Annual coupon/Current Price

  Current yield = 80/1186

  Current yield = 6.75%

2. Atlantis Fisheries issues zero coupon bonds on the market at a price of $514 per bond. Each bond has a face value of $1,000 payable at maturity in 13 years. What is the yield to maturity for these bonds?(Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

    

  Yield to maturity = (Face Value of Zero coupon bond/Current price)^(1/n) - 1

  Yield to maturity = (1000/514)^(1/13) -1

  Yield to maturity = 5.25%

3. Atlantis Fisheries issues zero coupon bonds on the market at a price of $364 per bond. Each bond has a face value of $1,000 payable at maturity in 18 years. It is callable in 9 years at a call price of $550. Using semiannual compounding, what is the yield to call for these bonds? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

          

  Yield to call   = ((Call Value of Zero coupon bond/Current price)^(1/2n) - 1 )*2

  Yield to call   = ((550/364)^(1/(2*9)) -1 )*2

  Yield to call   = 4.64%

4. Atlantis Fisheries issues zero coupon bonds on the market at a price of $514 per bond. Each bond has a face value of $1,000 payable at maturity in 14 years. It is callable in 7 years at a call price of $640. Using semiannual compounding, what is the yield to call for these bonds? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

Yield to call   = ((Call Value of Zero coupon bond/Current price)^(1/2n) - 1 )*2

  Yield to call   = ((640/514)^(1/(2*7)) -1 )*2

  Yield to call   = 3.16%
