Question

Instructions: Show all work where necessary. Your final answer carries little weight in determining your score for a particular problem. Use the following data for problems 1-2.^ A bond has a time to maturity of n = 9yrs 5 a coupon rate of 7% (paid semi-annually), and a maturity value of M = 1000. The bond was issued six years ago. Determine the market price of the bond if the market rate of interest is 7%. Determine the market price of the bond if the market rate of interest is 8%. Graph the relationship between bond prices and interest rates and explain the relationship between bond prices and interest rates. Suppose that the bond is currently selling for B0 = 1075.00. If you bought the bond for today's price and held it to maturity, what would be your yield to maturity? Suppose that the bond was purchased at par six years ago and sold today for B0 =1075.00. What would be your holding period return over the six year period? What are the assumptions regarding reinvestment rates in (a) and (b) with respect to time? What is the term structure of interest rates and how does it relate to your answer in part c?
