Consider two bonds: a 5-year coupon bond with face value $3000, and a consol bond. Each bond pays a coupon annually of $300 and has initial yield to maturity of 6%. 1. Is the price of coupon bond above, below or equal to the bond's face value? Below Can't be determined from these information. Above Equal 2. What is the price of the consol? $1800 $5500 $2830.19 $5000 3. What is the price of coupon bond? $3505.48 $1263.71 $2242.02 $3502.95 4. At the end of the first year, the yields on all bonds unexpectedly rise to 10%. What is the one-year rate of return on the consol bond? -34% 32% -40% 36%
Involve zero-coupon bonds. A zero-coupon bond is a bond that is sold now at a discount and will pay its face value at the time when it matures; no interest payments are made. How much should a $\$ 10,000$ facevalue, zero-coupon bond, maturing in 10 years, be sold for now if its rate of return is to be $8 \%$ compounded annually?
