Answer:
The interest rate on corporate bond is 7.87 percent.
Explanation:
The yield on 7-year municipal bond = 4.8%
Given marginal tax rate = 39 percent
Now calculate the interest rate on 7 year corporate bond that has equal risk.
Use the below formula. Here, yield from both type of bond is equated that is yield from corporate bond and yield from municipal bond because it is given that both gives same return after tax.
Interest rate on corporate bond × (1-tax rate) = Municipal bond yield
Interest rate on corporate bond × (1- 0.39) = 4.8
Answer:
(a) The arbitrage strategy is to buy zeros with face values of $140 and $1,140 and respective maturities of one and two years, and simultaneously sell the coupon bond.
(b) The profit on the activity equals $0.72 on each bond.
Explanation:
The price of the coupon bond = 140 × PV(7.9%, 2) + 1000 × PV(7.9%, 2)
= 140 × (1-(1/1.079)^2)/0.079 + 1,000/1.079^2
= $1,108.93
If the coupons were withdrawn and sold as zeros individually, then the coupon payments could be sold separately on the basis of the zero maturity yield for maturities of one and two years.
[140/1.07] + [1,140/1.08^2] = $1,108.21.
The arbitrage strategy is to buy zeros with face values of $140 and $1,140 and respective maturities of one and two years, and simultaneously sell the coupon bond.
The profit on the activity equals $0.72 on each bond.
