Answer:
b) fall to 8 percent.
Explanation:
First, irrespective of the duration of the bond, if the price is equal to the bond's face value, it means that the coupon rate is equal to the yield to maturity (YTM).
Initial YTM = 10%
Since this is a perpetually coupon paying bond, you use PV of perpetuity to find the rate;
PV = Coupon PMT / rate
Given PV as $1,250, new annual rate would be;
1,250 = 100/rate
solve for rate by cross multiplying;
1,250rate = 100
divide both sides by 1,250
rate = 100/1,250
rate = 0.08 or 8%
Therefore, the
interest rate would fall to 8 percent.
The answer is D. An increased interest rate.
The bank will increase the interest rates on loans to get a return on their expenses.
