Problem 2: The US government issues a Treasury bond that matures in 5 years, has a face value of $1,000 and a coupon yield of 10 percent, and pays semi-annual coupons. Suppose the Yield To Maturity (YTM) of similar bonds is 8%, What is the price of this Treasury bond? Suppose the YTM was 12% instead. Without making any calculation, state and prove whether the bond price would be higher or lower than the face value. After holding the bond for 6 months, you receive one coupon payment and then you immediately sell the bond for a price of $110 (per $100 of face value). Compute the holding period return (the YTM is 8%).

Value a risky corporate bond, assuming that the risk-free interest rate is 4 per cent per period, where a period is defined as six months. The corporate bond has a face value of €100 payable two periods from now, and pays a 5 per cent coupon per period: that is, interest payments of €5 at the end of both the first period and the second period. The corporate bond is a derivative of the assets of the issuing firm. Assume that the assets generate sufficient cash to pay off the promised coupon one period from now. In particular, the corporation has set aside a reserve fund of €5/1.04 per bond to pay off the promised coupon one period from now. Two periods from now, there are three possible states. In one of those states, the assets of the firm are not worth much and the firm defaults, unable to generate a sufficient amount of cash. Only €50 of the €105 promised payment is made on the bond in this state. 7.3 The exhibit below describes the value of the firm's assets per bond (less the…
Assume that Seminole, Inc., considers issuing a Singapore dollar–denominated bond at its present coupon rate of 7 percent, even though it has no incoming cash flows to cover the bond payments. It is attracted to the low financing rate because U.S. dollar–denominated bonds issued in the United States would have a coupon rate of 12 percent. Assume that either type of bond would have a four-year maturity and could be issued at par value. Semi-nole needs to borrow $10 million. Therefore, it will issue either U.S. dollar–denominated bonds with a par value of $10 million or bonds denominated in Singapore dollars with a par value of S$20 million. The spotrate of the Singapore dollar is $.50. Seminole has forecasted the Singapore dollar’s value at the end of each ofthe next four years, when coupon payments are to be paid. Determine the expected annual cost of financingwith Singapore dollars. Should Seminole, Inc., issue bonds denominated in U.S. dollars or Singapore dollars? Explain. END OF…
