6-4. Suppose the current zero-coupon yield curve for risk-free bonds is as follows:
a. b. c. a.
b. c.
What is the price per $100 face value of a two-year, zero-coupon, risk-free bond? What is the price per $100 face value of a four-year, zero-coupon, risk-free bond? What is the risk-free interest rate for a five-year maturity?
P􏰃100/(1.055)2 􏰃$89.85 P􏰃100/(1.0595)4 􏰃$79.36
6.05%
6-6. Suppose a 10-year, $1000 bond with an 8% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading for a price of $1034.74.
a. b.
a.
What is the bond’s yield to maturity (expressed as an APR with semiannual compounding)? If the bond’s yield to maturity changes to 9% APR, what will the bond’s price be?

(1􏰂 ) (1􏰂 )2 (1􏰂 )20 222
Use your financial calculator:
PV = -1034.74, FV = 1000, N = 20, PMT = 40, Solve for rate => 3.75% (a 6-month rate).
Therefore, YTM = 3.75% × 2 = 7.50%

6-8. The prices of several bonds with face values of $1000 are summarized in the following table:
For each bond, state whether it trades at a discount, at par, or at a premium.
Bond A trades at a discount. Bond D trades at par. Bonds B and C trade at a premium.
6-10. Suppose a seven-year, $1000 bond with an 8% coupon rate and semiannual coupons is trading with a yield to maturity of 6.75%.

a. Is this bond currently trading at a discount, at par, or at a premium? Explain.
b. If the yield to maturity of the bond rises to 7% (APR with semiannual compounding), what price will the bond trade for?
a. Because the yield to maturity is less than the coupon rate, the bond is trading at a premium. 40 40 40􏰂1000
