Answer:

Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>

1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.

PV * (1 + S1) = FV

1 + S1 = 1000 / 900

S1 = 1.1111 - 1

S1 = 0.1111  

S1 = 11.11%

1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950

Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50

950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2

950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2

1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905

(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905

1 + S2 = 1.160221/2

S2 = 7.714%

1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586

Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The price of the bond is $659.64.

Explanation:

C = coupon payment = $62.00 (Par Value * Coupon Rate)

n = number of years = 6

i = market rate, or required yield = 15 = 0.15  = 0.15 /2  = 0.075

k = number of coupon payments in 1 year = 2

P = value at maturity, or par value = $1000

BOND PRICE= C/k [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1 + i )^nk ) / i ] + [ P / ( 1 + i )^nk )]

BOND PRICE= 62/2 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1 + 0.075 )^6x2 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 0.075 )^6x2 )]

BOND PRICE= 31 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1.075 )^12 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.075 )^12 )]

BOND PRICE= 31 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1.075 )^12 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.075 )^12 )]

BOND PRICE= $239.79 + $419.85 = $659.64
