A 25-year maturity bond has a 8% coupon rate, paid annually. It sells today for $887.42. A 15-year maturity bond has a 7.5% coupon rate, also paid annually. It sells today for $899.5. A bond market analyst forecasts that in five years, 20-year maturity bonds will sell at yields to maturity of 9% and that 10-year maturity bonds will sell at yields of 8.5%. Because the yield curve is upward-sloping, the analyst believes that coupons will be invested in short-term securities at a rate of 7%. Required: a. Calculate the expected rate of return of the 25-year bond over the five-year period. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Expected rate of return b. What is the expected return of the 15-year bond over the five-year period? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Expected rate of return

Bond Yields and Rates of Return A 10-year, 12% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 may be called in 4 years at a call price of 1,060. The bond sells for 1,100. (Assume that the bond has just been issued.) a. What is the bonds yield to maturity? b. What is the bonds current yield? c. What is the bonds capital gain or loss yield? d. What is the bonds yield to call?
Yield to Maturity and Yield to Call Arnot International’s bonds have a current market price of $1,200. The bonds have an 11% annual coupon payment, a $1,000 face value, and 10 years left until maturity. The bonds may be called in 5 years at 109% of face value (call price = $1,090). What is the yield to maturity? What is the yield to call if they are called in 5 years? Which yield might investors expect to earn on these bonds, and why? The bond’s indenture indicates that the call provision gives the firm the right to call them at the end of each year beginning in Year 5. In Year 5, they may be called at 109% of face value, but in each of the next 4 years the call percentage will decline by 1 percentage point. Thus, in Year 6 they may be called at 108% of face value, in Year 7 they may be called at 107% of face value, and so on. If the yield curve is horizontal and interest rates remain at their current level, when is the latest that investors might expect the firm to call the bonds?
A 30-year maturity bond has a 6.7% coupon rate, paid annually. It sells today for $881.17. A 20-year maturity bond has a 6.2% coupon rate, also paid annually. It sells today for $893.1. A bond market analyst forecasts that in five years, 25-year maturity bonds will sell at yields to maturity of 7.7% and 15-year maturity bonds will sell at yields of 7.2%. Because the yield curve is upward sloping, the analyst believes that coupons will be invested in short-term securities at a rate of 7.2%. a. Calculate the (annualized) expected rate of return of the 30-year bond over the 5-year period. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. 30-year bond 44.95% b. What is the (annualized) expected return of the 20-year bond? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
