1 Fixed Income: Practice Problems with Solutions Directions: Unless otherwise stated, assume semi-annual payment on bonds.. A 6.0 percent bond matures in exactly 8 years and has a par value of 000 dollars. The bond sells for 338. dollars. What is the semiannual coupon payment? a b c d e a. semiannual coupon: C A 9.0 percent bond matures in exactly 5 years and has a par value of 7000 dollars. The bond sells for 673. dollars. What is the current yield? a. 9.0 b c d e a. current yield: CY A 9. 5 percent bond matures in exactly 6 years and has a par value of 0000 dollars. The bond sells for 40.0 dollars. What is the yield to maturity? a b. 4.0 c d e. 5.0 a. calculator inputs: N 3;PV 40.0;PMT ;FV 0000 b. cpt I/Y. 75 c. so y 5. 5
2 4. A 4. 5 percent bond with a par value of 000 dollars matures in 7 years, 70 days. The next coupon is paid in 70 days. What is the accrued interest? Assume 83 days between coupon payment dates. a b c d e a. days since last coupon b. half-year since last coupon c. so accrued interest A 7. 5 percent bond with a par value of 000 dollars matures in 5 years, 0 days. The next coupon is paid in 0 days. The yield is 4. 5 percent. What is the dirty price? Assume 83 days between coupon payment dates. a. 36. b c d e a. solve for value of bond V w at first coupon payment date:w 0 days half years b. calculator inputs: N 30;I/Y ;PMT ;FV 000 c. cpt PV d. so V A 9.0 percent bond with a par value of 000 dollars matures in 9 years, 9 days. The next coupon is paid in 9 days. The bond sells for 378. dollars. What is the clean price? Assume 83 days between coupon payment dates. a b c d e a. days since last coupon
3 b. half-year since last coupon c. so accrued interest d. then clean price is given by: CP A zero-coupon bond with a par value of 000 dollars matures in 0 years, 59 days. If the bond yields 4. 5 percent, what is the clean price? Assume 83 days in a half-year. a b c d e a. time to maturity b. clean (or dirty) price A zero-coupon bond with a par value of 000 dollars matures in 0 years, 56 days. If the bond sells for , what is yield to maturity? Assume 83 days in a half-year. a. 7.0 b. 8.0 c d e. 9.0 a. time to maturity:t b. yieldtomaturity The yields on a six month and one year zero-coupon bonds are 4.0 and 9.0 percent, respectively. A dealer holds in inventory a 5.0 percent treasury note with a par value of 000 dollars and maturity of one year. What is the minimum price the dealer should ask for the bond? a b c d e a. minimum price is the cost of constructing cash flow pattern using zero-coupon bonds: 5.0d 05.0d
4 b. so: P A 7. 5 percent par treasury bond matures in exactly 3 years. A 5.0 percent par municipal bond matures in exactly 3 years. Suppose both bonds have the same default risk. At what marginal tax rate would the two bonds have the same after-tax yield? a b c d e a. since both bonds are selling at par: y treasury 7. 5 and y muni 5.0 b. therefore: c. which implies: d. so: A 0.0 percent par municipal bond matures in exactly 3 years. For an investor at the 9.0 percent marginal tax rate, what is the taxable-equivalent yield? a. 7. b c d e a. since the muni is selling at par: y muni 0.0 b. therefore: TEY y muni A 3.0 percent TIP bond matures in exactly 4 years. Six months ago the par value was 0800 dollars. The annualized CPI (inflation rate) over the last six months equals Assuming a coupon is paid today, what is par value of the bond? a. 86. b c. 33. d. 4. e a. inflation adjusted principal: M A 4.0 percent TIP bond matures in exactly years. Six months ago the par value was 0500 dollars. The annualized CPI (inflation rate) over the last six months equals. 5.
5 Assume the coupon is paid today. What is the dollar value of the coupon paid today? a b c.. 63 d e. 0.0 a. inflation adjusted principal: M b. apply coupon rate to inflation adjusted principal: c A 3. 5 percent TIP bond matures in exactly 4 years. Six months ago the par value was 0600 dollars. The annualized CPI (inflation rate) compounded semiannually over the last six months equals 4. 5 percent. Assume the coupon is paid today. Six months ago the bond was selling at par and today the bond is selling at 5.0 percent premium over par. What is the annual rate of return compounded semiannually over the last six months? a b c d e a. inflation adjusted principal: M b. apply coupon rate to inflation adjusted principal: c c. one plus the return over a half year equals the ratio of the begining to end of half-year value d. value at the end of the first half year equals the semi-annual coupon: plus the price: P e. so: R f. finally: R percent 5. A 8.0 percent bond matures in exactly 0 years and has a par value of 0000 dollars. The bond sells for dollars.
