b) Recompute price of both bonds as the time to maturity keeps declining and arrange your results in the following template: 25 years 20 years 15 years 10 years 5 years 0 years Price of Bond A Price of Bond B
Added by Gabriel T.
Step 1
To recompute the price of both bonds as the time to maturity declines, we need the following information (assumed or given in the original problem, if any): - Coupon rate of Bond A and Bond B - Face value of both bonds (usually 100 or 1000) - Yield to maturity Show more…

The table below provides information for six different bonds: current market price (P), the face value of the bond (V), and the number of years before the bond matures (N). Bond Number | Market Price (P) | Face Value (V) | Years to Maturity (N) 1a | $926 | $1000 | 1 1b | $850 | $1000 | 1 2a | $1270 | $2000 | 5 2b | $838 | $2000 | 5 3a | $1760 | $5000 | 10 3b | $684 | $5000 | 10 a. In each case, compute the bond's yield, assuming that you buy the bond at its current market price and hold the bond until it matures. There are no coupons. If x is the bond's yield, then P(1 + x)^N = V. b. Suppose bonds 1a, 2a, and 3a are all issued by the same borrower. Can you offer an explanation for the relationship between the bond yields and the terms to maturity? c. Suppose bonds 1b, 2b, and 3b are all issued by the same borrower. What can you conclude about the riskiness of borrower a compared to borrower b? Explain.

Suppose there are two bonds you are considering: Bond A: Maturity (years): 20 Coupon rate (%) (paid semi-annually): 12 Par Value: $1,000 Bond B: Maturity (years): 30 Coupon rate (%) (paid semi-annually): 8 Par Value: $1,000 a. If both bonds had a required rate of return of 10%, what would the bonds' prices be? b. Explain what it means when a bond is selling at a discount, a premium, or at its face amount (par value). Based on the results in part (a), would you consider both bonds to be selling at a discount, premium, or at par? c. Calculate Bond current yield, and explain the relationship between the required rate of return, bond price, coupon rate, and current yield. d. Re-calculate the prices of the bonds if the required return falls to 9%.
