Which of the following is correct? If you pay a price above its face value to buy a bond, your return will be higher than its coupon rate. When market rate is greater than coupon rate, the bond has a price below its face value. O When determining the value of a bond that payments semi-annual payments, one need to use semi-annual coupon rate to determine the coupon payments and semi-annual market rate as discount rate.

If the current interest rate exceeds the bond’s coupon rate, the bond will sell at a ___________.
The rate of return that you would earn if you bought a bond and held It to its maturity date is called the bond's yield to maturity (YTM). If Interest rates in the economy rise after a bond has been issued, what will happen to the bond's price and to Its YTM? Does the length of time to maturity affect the extent to which a given change in interest rates will affect the bond's price? Briefly explain with necessary numerical data.

Some characteristics of the determinants of nominal interest rates are listed as follows. Identify the components (determinants) and the symbols associated with each characteristic: Characteristic Component Symbol This is the premium added to the real risk-free rate to compensate for a decrease in purchasing power over time. It is based on the bond’s rating; the higher the rating, the lower the premium added, thus lowering the interest rate. It is calculated by adding the inflation premium to r*. It changes over time, depending on the expected rate of return on productive assets exchanged among market participants and people’s time preferences for consumption. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, and as interest rates fall, bond prices rise. Because interest rate changes are uncertain, this premium is added as a compensation for this uncertainty. This premium is added when a security lacks marketability,…

The forward rate f(t1,12) of a bond, is the implicit interest rate in a future period between time t1 and t2. For example, assuming continuous time returns, if the discount rate from period 0 to t1 is: exp(-r t1), and from period 0 to 12 (greater than t1) is: exp(-r t2), then the forward rate f from t1 to t2 maintains the following no arbitrage relationship: exp(-r t1) exp(-f (t2-t1) exp(-r t2)). Suppose we observe the prices of a 14-year zero-coupon bond (with a face value of $93.31), where P(t1,t2) regans the price of the bond between t1 and 12, and a year 7-to-14 forward rate as follows:P(0.14) - $86.5496905000 and f(7,14) - 0.6074704253 %. Calculate the price of a 7-year zero-coupon, with face value $99.27: $82.9604 $96.0778 ✓(25 %) $96.2349 $82.1804
