Explanation / Answer

5.

Using financial calculator BA II Plus - Input details:

YTM of 8%

I/Y = Rate or yield / frequency of coupon in a year =

              4.000000

PMT = Coupon rate x FV / frequency =

-$15.00

N = Number of years remaining x frequency =

52.00

FV = Future Value =

-$1,000.00

CPT > PV = Present value of bond =

$456.3105

Using financial calculator BA II Plus - Input details:

YTM of 13%

I/Y = Rate or yield / frequency of coupon in a year =

              6.500000

PMT = Coupon rate x FV / frequency =

-$15.00

N = Number of years remaining x frequency =

52.00

FV = Future Value =

-$1,000.00

CPT > PV = Present value of bond =

$259.8682

Percentage change = (PV at 13% YTM - PV at 8% YTM)/ PV at 8% YTM

Percentage change = ($259.8682 - $456.3105)/ $456.3105

Percentage change = -43.0501% or -0.4305

.

6.

Invoice price = Clean price + Accrued interest for 5 months

$856 = Clean price + Face value x Coupon rate x Months after semiannual payment/12

Clean price = $856 - $1000 x 9% x 5/12

Clean price = $818.50

.

7.

Invoice price = Clean price + Accrued interest for 4 months

Invoice price = $875 + $1000 x 6% x 4/12

Invoice price = $895.00

FV = Future Value / Face Value =

$1,000.00

PV = Present Value =

-$1,035.15

N = Number of years remaining x frequency =

18

PMT = Payment = Coupon / frequency =

$55.00

CPT > I/Y = Rate per period or YTM per period =

                  5.1947

Convert Yield in annual rate = YTM *2 /100

                  0.1039

YTM = 10.3894% or 0.1039
