Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annua

l coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 10 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 6.4 percent paid annually. If the yield to maturity is 7.5 percent, what is the current price of the bond?

Answer:

Price of bond = $ 924.50

Explanation:

<em>The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).  </em>

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV  

The price of the bond can be worked out as follows:  

Step 1  

PV of interest payments  

annul interest payment = 6.4 % × 1,000 = 64

Annual yield = 7.5%

Total period to maturity (in years) =10

PV of interest =  

64 × (1- (1.075)^(-10)/)/0.075= 439.30

Step 2  

PV of Redemption Value  

= 1,000× (1.075)^(-10) =   485.19

Step 3

Price of bond  

439.30 + 485.19 =$924.49

Price of bond = $ 924.50

Marlon wants to save money over a long period of time. He does not need to have easy access to the money, and he is worried abou
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Bonds

Explanation:

Bonds fit all of Marlon's needs since:

  1. He can know the interest rate up front, e.g. the coupon rate of the bond, or  the market rate if the bond is purchased at a premium or discount.
  2. Some bonds have a very remote maturity date, up to 30 years (e.g. US securities) and that is a long period of time.
  3. Even though Marlon can cash his money before the bond matures (he can sell them), it is something that takes a few days and must be done by a broker.
  4. Bonds are very secure investments, specially US securities which are considered the most secure investment in the world, but even corporate bonds are considered secure. In case the firm goes is liquidated, bondholders receive their money before preferred stockholders and common stockholders.

A person assumes all risks associated with any activity in which he or she participates.
Eduardwww [97]
It is <u>false </u>that a person assumes all risks associated with any activity in which he or she participates. This is not true because one person cannot bear all these risks, especially if there are multiple people involved. They should all face the risks and the consequences of their actions - it shouldn't be just one person, but also the people who are organizing that activity as well as the other participants.
