2 NOTES Questions and parts of some solutions have been taken from material copyrighted by the Casualty Actuarial Society and the Society of Actuaries. They are reproduced in this study manual with the permission of the CAS and SoA solely to aid students studying for the actuarial exams. Some editing of questions has been done. Students may also request past exams directly from both societies. I am very grateful to these organizations for their cooperation and permission to use this material. They are, of course, in no way responsible for the structure or accuracy of the manual. Exam questions are identified by numbers in parentheses at the end of each question. CAS questions have four numbers separated by hyphens: the year of the exam, the number of the exam, the number of the question, and the points assigned. SoA or joint exam questions usually lack the number for points assigned. W indicates a written answer question; for questions of this type, the number of points assigned are also given. A indicates a question from the afternoon part of an exam. MC indicates that a multiple choice question has been converted into a true/false question. Page numbers (p.) with solutions refer to the reading to which the question has been assigned unless otherwise noted. Page references refer to Samuel A. Broverman Mathematics of Investment and Credit (2008); James W. Daniel and Leslie Jane Federer Vaaler, Mathematical Interest Theory (2009); Stephen G. Kellison, The Theory of Interest (2008); Robert L. McDonald, Derivatives Markets, (2006); and Chris Ruckman and Joe Francis, Financial Mathematics (2005). Although I have made a conscientious effort to eliminate mistakes and incorrect answers, I am certain some remain. I am very grateful to students who discovered errors in the past and encourage those of you who find others to bring them to my attention. Please check our web site for corrections subsequent to publication. I would also like to thank Graham Lord for checking some of the solutions in the manual. Hanover, NH 11/1/10 PJM
3 Financial Instruments 263 B. Price of a Bond: Calculating Purchase Prices B1. A bond with a $100 par value has 5.25% annual coupons and is due to mature at the end of 16 years. The bond will be redeemed at maturity for an amount equal to its par value less a service charge. The service charge is equal to 25% of the excess (if any) of the par value over the purchase price. A prospective purchaser offers a price that will produce a yield equivalent to a 7% annual effective interest rate, taking into account the deduction of the service charge. It is noted that (1.07) 16 = 3. In which of the following ranges does this price lie? A. < $65 B. $65 but < $71 C. $71 but < $77 D. $77 but < $83 E. $83 (80S 4 12) B2. A $1,000 bond with quarterly coupons of $25 each will be redeemed in 3.5 years for $1,010. It is purchased to yield a nominal annual rate of 8% compounded quarterly. In which of the following ranges is the purchase price of this bond? A. < $1,000 B. $1,000 but < $1,025 C. $1,025 but < $1,050 D. $1,050 but < $1,075 E. $1,075 (81S 4 13) B3.

The desired yield rate is the same for both bonds. You also have the following information: i) Par value of bond X is 1,000. ii) For bond X, the ratio of the semiannual bond rate to the desired semiannual yield rate, (r/i), is iii) The present value of the redemption value of bond X is iv) Redemption value of bond Y is the same as the redemption value of bond X. v) Price to yield of bond Y is What is the price of bond X?
