Step 1
bond (remaining life = 2 years → 4 semiannual periods) - Coupon per period = 0.08*1000/2 = $40 - Semiannual yield = 0.079/2 = 0.0395 - Price = 40 * [1 - (1+0.0395)^(-4)]/0.0395 + 1000*(1+0.0395)^(-4) - (1+0.0395)^4 = 1.1676491109230063 → discount factor = Show more…

A company issues 5-year bonds to raise funds for expansion. The face value is $1000 and the coupon rate is 8% paid annually. The redemption value is $1200. If current bond yields are 7% per annum, what is the issue price of this bond? Another company issues bonds identical to those in question 1, except that the coupon rate is 8% paid semiannually and not annually. What is the issue price of this second bond? For the bond in question 1, what was the amortization of premium or discount at the end of the third year?

1) If you were to purchase 5 bonds with a par value of $1000 each with a 7% coupon rate payable annually. How much interest will you earn after 2 years? Show your work. 2) Decide which of the following bonds would bring the greater rate of return if kept until maturity. Both bonds have a $1000 par value and assume they can be sold at face value upon maturity. Bond 1 has 10 years to maturity with a coupon rate of 5% and a price of $900. Bond 2 has 8 years to maturity with a coupon rate of 6% and a price of $875. Determine which bond would have a higher annual rate of return based on time until maturity and total return from the bond. Show all calculations.
