22 Dizzy Corp bonds bearing a coupon rate of 12%, pay coupons semiannually, have 3 years

remaining to maturity, and are currently priced at $940 per bond What is the yield to maturity? A) 12.00%

23 Whitesell Athletic Corporation's bonds have a face value of $1,000 and a 9% coupon paid

semiannually; the bonds mature in 8 years What current yield would be reported in The Wall Street Journal if the yield to maturity is 7%?

1000 FV, 45 PMT, 16 N, 3.5 I/Y, CPT PV = $1,120.94; Annual coupon is 45 x 2 = 90

Current Yield (CY) = $90 / 1,120.94 = 8.03%

24 D&G Enterprises issues bonds with a $1,000 face value that make coupon payments of $30 every

Response: coupon rate = ($30 x 4) / 1,000 = 12%

25 Suppose you purchase a zero coupon bond with face value $1,000, maturing in 25 years, for

$180 What is the implicit interest, in dollars, in the first year of the bond's life?

1000 FV, 25 N, -180 PV, CPT I/Y = YTM = 7.1%; Year 1 interest = $180 x 071 = $12.78

26 Suppose you purchase a zero coupon bond with a face value of $1,000 and a maturity of 25 years,

for $180 If the yield to maturity on the bond remains unchanged, what will the price of the bond

be 5 years from now?

28 J&J Enterprises wants to issue sixty 20-year, $1,000 zero-coupon bonds If each bond is to yield

7%, how much will J&J receive (ignoring issuance costs) when the bonds are first sold?

Response: price = $1,000 / 1.0720 = $258.42; proceeds = $258.42 x 60 = $15,505

There is the algebra, but what are the entries using your TVOM keys on your TI BA II Plus? And what of the algebra and keystrokes for numbers 29-40 below? Recognizing the algebra is important, and extending that recognition to the keystrokes is “key.”

29 J&J Enterprises wants to issue 20-year, $1,000 face value zero-coupon bonds If each bond is to

yield 7%, what is the minimum number of bonds J&J must sell if they wish to raise $5 million from the sale? (Ignore issuance costs.)

Response: price = $1,000 / 1.0720 = $258.42; # of bonds = $5,000,000 / 258.42 = 19,349

30 What is the market value of a bond that will pay a total of fifty semiannual coupons of $80 each

over the remainder of its life? Assume the bond has a $1,000 face value and a 12% yield to maturity

31 J&J Manufacturing just issued a bond with a $1,000 face and a coupon rate of 8% The bond has

a life of 20 years, annual coupons, and a yield to maturity is 7.5%, what will the bond sell for? A) $ 975

32 J&J Manufacturing just issued a bond with a $1,000 face value and a coupon rate of 8% If the

bond has a life of 20 years, pays annual coupons, and the yield to maturity is 7.5%, what percent

of the bond's total price is represented by the present value of the coupons?

Using the TVOM keystrokes above, you get the price of around $1,051

Now, in this problem, you must calculate the value of the annuity stream (the interest payments or coupons) and divide that into the bond price Recall that the total bond value is comprised of the

PV of the coupons plus the PV of the maturity payoff of $1000

Keystrokes for the PV of the coupons? 80 PMT, 7.5 I/Y, 20 N, CPT PV = -815.56 Divide that into 1051 and you get $815.56 / 1,050.97 = 77.6%

33 J&J Manufacturing just issued a bond with a $1,000 face value and a coupon rate of 8% If the

bond has a life of 20 years, pays annual coupons, and the yield to maturity is 7.5%, what is the present value of the bond's face value?

34 J&J Manufacturing just issued a bond with a $1,000 face value and a coupon rate of 8% If the

bond has a life of 20 years, pays annual coupons, and the yield to maturity is 7.5%, what is the total present value of the bond's coupon payments?

Using the TVOM keys instead of algebra?

Coupon payments are 8% of $1000 or $80 So, 80 PMT, 20 N, 7.5I/Y, CPT PV = 815.56

35 The market price of a bond is $1,236.94, it has 14 years to maturity, a $1,000 face value, and pays

an annual coupon of $100 in semiannual installments What is the yield to maturity?

The algebra is a bit annoying, so do the TVOM stuff, thusly: -1,236.94PV, 1000 FV, 28 N, 50 PMT, CPT I/Y = 3.637 I/Y x 2 = 3.637 x 2 = 7.274 or 7.27%

36 What would you pay for a bond that pays an annual coupon of $45, has a face value of $1,000,

matures in 11 years, and has a yield to maturity of 10%?

TVOM stuff? 1000 FV, 45 PMT, 11 N, 10 I/Y, CPT PV = -642.77

37 King Noodles' bonds have a 9% coupon rate Interest is paid quarterly and the bonds have a

maturity of 10 years If the appropriate discount rate is 10% on similar bonds, what is the price of King Noodles' bonds?

A) $937.24

B) $938.55

38 Cornerstone Industries has a bond outstanding with an 8% coupon rate and a market price of

$874.68 If the bond matures in 6 years and interest is paid semiannually, what is the YTM? A) 4.9%

TVOM keystrokes? 40 PMT, 12 N, 1000 FV, -874.68 PV, CPT I/Y = 5.45 x 2 = YTM = 10.9%

39 The make-believe bonds of Facebook carry a 12% annual coupon, have a $1,000 face value, and

mature in 5 years Bonds of equivalent risk yield 9% What is the market value of Facebook bonds?

First, compute the YTM for bond A, thusly:

1000 FV, 25x2=N, 50 PMT, -1,150 PV, CPT I/Y = 4.27 (that is the YTM per six months for a semiannual bond – were you to calculate the annual YTM, you would multiply 4.27 by 2 to get 8.54%) Then compute PV of bond B (here, you use the 4.27 6-month YTM as your I/Y, to keep things consistent):

41 If corporate bond yields are at 8.4% and you are in the 34% federal marginal income tax bracket,

at what level of municipal bond yields would you be indifferent between owning corporate bonds

or muni bonds? Ignore the impact of state and local taxes
