Question

Interest PaymentsDetermine the interest payment for the following three bonds: 5 1/2 percent coupon corporate bond (paid semiannually), 5.25 percent coupon Treasury note, and a corporate zero coupon bond maturing in 10 years. (Assume a $1,000, 000 par value.) Call PremiumA 6.25 percent corporate coupon bond is callable m 7 years for a call premium of one year of coupon payments. Assuming a par value of $1,000, what is the once paid to the bondholder if the issuer calls the bond? Bond Quotes Consider the following three bond quotes; a Treasury note quoted at 107:27, and a corporate bond quoted at 102.75, and a municipal bond quoted at 102.95. If the Treasury and corporate bonds have a par value of $1,000 and the municipal bond has a par value of $10, 000, what is the price of these three bonds in dollars? Compute Bond PriceCompute the price of a 6.5 percent coupon bond with 20 years left to maturity and a market interest rate of 7 percent. (Assume Interest payments are semiannual.) Is this a discount or premium bond? Yields of a Bond A 3.7S percent coupon municipal bond has 17 years left to maturity and has a once quote of 102.80. The bond can be called in eight years. The call premium is one year of coupon payments. Compute and discuss the bond's current yield, yield to maturity, taxable equivalent yield (for an investor in the 30 percent marginal tax bracket), and yield to call. (Assume interest payments are semiannual and a par value of $10, 000.)

Explanation / Answer

1. Bond 1 = 1000000*5.5/100*6/12 = $27,500 per period
Bond 2 = 1000000*5.25/100 = $52,500 per period
Bond 3 = $0 since the bond is a Zero Coupon Bond

2. Price paid to the bondholder = 1000 + 1000*6.25% = $1,062.5

3. Price of treasury note = 1000*107.27/100 = $1,072.7
Price of corporate bond = 1000*102.75/100 = $1,027.5
Price of municipal bond = 10000*102.95/100 = $10,295

4. Bond Price = 1000*6.5%*6/12*PVIFA(7%, 40periods) + 1000*PVIF(7%, 40periods) = $946.61
