Question

Q3- RK has a 4 year bond which pays semiannual coupons. Yearly, the bond pays a 6% coupon (per $100 of par). Assume that the annual discount rate is 7%. 1. Determine the price of the bond and indicate the bond type. (5 pts.) 2. Determine the time path of the bond, i.e., Price versus time to maturity at each year till the bond matures. Assume every thing other than maturity time remains the same. Plot your result. (10 pts.) 3. What can you conclude (pull to par value) based on your answer in above part 2.? (5 pts.) 4. Plot the behavior of the $PV_{Coupon}$ versus time as the bond reaches its term. (5pts.) 5. Plot the behavior of the $PV_{Principal}$ versus time as the bond reaches its term. (5pts.) 6. What can you conclude based on your answers in 4. and 5. in the above? (10 pts.)
