An investor has two bonds in her portfolio, Bond C and Bond Z. Each bond matures in 4 years, has a face value of $1,000, and has

a yield to maturity of 8.9%. Bond C pays a 10% annual coupon, while Bond Z is a zero coupon bond. Assuming that the yield to maturity of each bond remains at 8.9% over the next 4 years, calculate the price of the bonds at each of the following years to maturity.

Answer:

Years to maturity       Price of Bond C            Price of Bond Z

         4                               $1,084.42                       $711.03

         3                               $1,065.93                       $774.31

         2                               $1,045.80                      $843.23

         1                                $1,023.88                       $918.27

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel for the calculations of the prices of Bond C and Bond Z.

The price of each bond of the bond can be calculated using the following excel function:

Bond price = -PV(rate, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)

Where;

rate = Yield to maturity of each of the bonds

NPER = Years to maturity

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value

FV = Face value

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1) for each of the Years to Maturity and inputting them into relevant cells in the attached excel sheet, we have:

Years to maturity       Price of Bond C            Price of Bond Z

         4                               $1,084.42                       $711.03

         3                               $1,065.93                       $774.31

         2                               $1,045.80                      $843.23

         1                                $1,023.88                       $918.27

You are evaluating a fund that had an annual average return of 7.2%. During that time, the average risk-free rate was 1.5% and t
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Risk free rate(Rf) = 1.5%

Market return(Rm) = 8%

Beta(β) = 0.8

ER(P) = Rf  + β(Rm – Rf)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 0.8(8-1.5)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 0.8(6.5)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 5.2

ER(P) = 6.7%

Alpha = Annual average return - ER(P)

         = 7.2% - 6.7%

         = 0.5%

Explanation:

In this case, we will calculate the expected return on the stock based on CAPM. Thereafter, we will calculate alpha by deducting the expected return from annual average return.

Two mutually exclusive investment opportunities require an initial investment of $7 million. Investment A pays $1.5 million per
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:The cost of capital that will make both investments equal is 17.045%

Explanation:

Investment A

$1.5 million will be received in perpetuity we can there use perpetuity formula to Value investment A.

Value of Investment A = 1500 000/r

Investment B

$1.2 Million will be received in Investment B with a growth rate of 3% will then use Gordon's growth rate model to value investment B.

Value of investment B = (1200 000 x (1+0.03))/(r - 0.03)

Value of investment B = 1236000/(r - 0.03)

1500 000/r = 1236000/(r - 0.03)

1236000(r) = 1500000(r - 0.03)

(r - 0.03) = 1236000( r)/1500000

r - 0.03 = 0.824r

r - 0.824r = 0.03 = 0.176r = 0.03

r = 0.03/0.176 = 0.170454545

R = 17.045%

The cost of capital that will make both investments to be equal is 17.045%
