A zero-coupon bond is a bond that is sold for less than its face value (that is, it is discounted) and has no periodic interest payments. Instead, the bond is redeemed for its face value at maturity. Thus, in this sense, interest is paid at maturity. Suppose that a zero-coupon bond sells for $8,800 and can be redeemed in 20-years for its face value of $48,000. What is the annual compound rate of return? Annual compound rate =% (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

A five-year bond with a yield of 11% (continuously compounded) pays an 8% coupon at the end of each year. a) What is the bond’s price? b) What is the bond’s duration? c) Use the duration to calculate the effect on the bond’s price of a 0.2% decrease in its yield. d) Recalculate the bond’s price on the basis of a 10.8% per annum yield and verify that the result is in agreement with your answer to (c).
A discount interest loan is a loan arrangement where the interest and any other related charges are calculated at the time the loan is closed. Suppose a one-year loan is stated as $10,000 and the interest rate is 14%. Then, the borrower pays $1,400 interest up front, thereby receiving net funds of $8,600 and repaying $10,000 in a year. What is the effective interest rate on this one-year loan?

A corporate bond pays 6% of its face value once per year. If this $10,000 10-year bond sells now for $10,450, what yield will be earned on this bond? Assume the bond will be redeemed at the end of 10 years for $10,000. The yield to maturity is %. (Round to two decimal places.)
A 12 percent semiannual coupon bond matures in 9 years. The bond has a face value of $1,000 and a current yield (CY) of 11.62 percent. What is the bond’s yield to maturity (YTM)? how would I calculate in a BA II PLUS FINANCIAL CALCULATOR. 4
Two bonds have identical times to maturity, face value, and coupon rates. The current price of the first one is $105 and the second is being traded at $110. Which should have the higher yield to matury? Why? You purchase the $110 bond today and sell it off next year at $108. What is its one-year rate of return (assume the bond’s coupon rate is 5% and its face value is $100)? If the expected inflation over the course of the year is 2%, what would the ex-ante real rate of return be for the bond on part (b)?
Assume you purchase (at par) one 11-year bond with a 6.95 percent coupon and a $1,000 face value. Suppose you are only able to reinvest the coupons at a rate of 4.95 percent. If you sell the bond after 6 years when the yield to maturity is 7.95 percent, what is your Face Value?
