#8 A ten-year $2,000 8% par-value bond with semi-annual coupons is bought for $2,200. Approximate the effective yield rate per coupon period j by using the approximation formula (1 + i)” −1+nj. #9 A six-year $1,800 8.5% bond with semiannual coupons is bought for $1,918 and is redeemable for $1,860. Find the principal adjustment P5, the interest earned Is, and the book value B5 at the end of two-and-a-half years. Term #10 You are given the following selected values from a yield curve: (1) Find the present value of payments of $1000 made at the end of each year for five years using these spot rates. (2) What level yield rate would produce an equivalent value? year 2 year 3 year 4 year Spot rate 6.00% 8.00 9.00 9.25
