Suppose investors can earn a return of 1.9% per 6 months on a Treasury note with 6 months remaining until maturity. The face value of the T-bill is $10,000. What price would you expect a 6-month maturity Treasury bill to sell for? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Suppose that a 10-year T-note is purchased with a face value of $20,000 and a coupon rate of 3.4% (a) What is the total return of this investment? (b) What is the average rate of retum? (a) The total return is $ (Simplity your answer.) (b) The average rate of return is%. (Simplify your answer. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Consider this 5-year CDS. Assume payments are made annually in arrears. Assume that default, if it happens, always happens exactly halfway through a year. Assume that the expected recovery rate is 42%. Assume that the Treasury-Spot curve is flat at 3% with continuous compounding. The Hazard rate for the reference entity is 22.35% each year. Assume Notional Principal = $102,000,000. What is the present value of the expected premium payment in year 4 expressed in terms of s?
The price of a stock is currently $200 per share. It'll pay a dividend of $0.85 every 3 months (the next dividend will occur 3 months from now). 3-month and 5-month risk free interest rates are 0.2% and 0.25%, respectively. All rates are annual rates with continuous compounding. What should be the delivery price of a 5-month forward contract so that the contract is of zero cost? Keep 2 digits in your final answer. Do not include $ sign.
Suppose that a company defaults always happen halfway through a year and that payments on its credit default swap (CDS) are made once a year, at the end of each year. Suppose that the risk-free rate is 3% per annum with continuous compounding, the recovery rate is 30% and the default probability of the company in the CDS is 2% in any year conditional on no earlier default. What is the credit default swap spread in a three-year swap in basis points?
Consider a forward contract which allows you to buy/sell a non-dividend paying stock in three months. Assume the current stock price is $99.41 and the three-month risk free interest is 5.4 percent per year. What should be the forward price? Keep your answer to two decimal places.
Can you explain step by step how you get $1,104.23 by plugging in the numbers and using the formula below?: Given: Coupon rate (6.55%), maturity (15 years), purchase YTM (6.15%). Adjust coupon and maturity for semi-annual periods: Coupon per period = 6.55% / 2 = 3.275%. Number of periods = 15 years * 2 = 30 periods. Use the bond pricing formula: Price = (Coupon * (1 - (1 + YTM/2)^-Number of periods)) / (YTM/2 + (1 + YTM/2)^-Number of periods) Plug in the values: Price ≈ $1,104.23.
Suppose an investor purchases $114,000 of TIPS with a 6.14% coupon rate and 12 years until maturity. How much with the second coupon payment be if the level of CPI adjusts to the levels below? Today 6 months from now 12 months from now 18 months from now 228 246.2 256.1 265.5
Suppose that the 9-month and 12-month LIBOR rates are 4% and 4.2%, respectively. What is the value of an FRA where 5% is received and LIBOR is paid on £1 million for the quarterly period?

Assume that the real interest rate is 2% per year, the default risk premium is 3%, the liquidity premium is 1%, and the maturity risk premium is 2%. Additionally, expected inflation is 2% next year, 5% the year after, and 3% from then on. What is the nominal interest rate over a 10-year period?
Suppose investors can earn a return of 4.5% per 6 months on a Treasury note with 6 months remaining until maturity. The face value of the T-bill is $10,000. What price would you expect a 6-month-maturity Treasury bill to sell for?
