Suppose that today's date is April 15. A bond with a 10% coupon paid semiannually every January 15 and July 15 is listed in The

zaharov [31]

Answer:

$1,035.4

Explanation:

To find the purchase price of the bond for today April 15, we can follow the following formula:

Purchase price = Selling price + Accrued interest

Therefore, the steps to follow are these:

1. Calculate the selling price.

Theoretically, the selling price tells us how much cash the bond will generate, but brought to present value. To find it, we should know what the par value of the bond and the asked price are. The question only give us the former (101.04). In this case, we will assume that the par or face value - the price at which the bond is sold when it is first released - is $ 1,000, which is the average face value of a bond in the United States.

Now, we apply the following formula:

Selling price (sp) = Par value * (Asked price / 100)

$sp = 1,000 * (101.04/100)$

$sp = 1,000 * (1.0104)$

 $sp = 1,010.4$ 

2. Calculate the accrued interest.

The accrued interest is the part of the purchase price that represents the interest accrued from the last maturity of interest charged to the purchase date. To find it, we apply this formula:

$AC = \frac{D_{c} }{D_{t} } *C$

Where C is the amount of the coupon that is paid periodically (in this case semianually), Dc is the time elapsed since the last payment and Dt is the time between the semiannual payments.

For our case, C is 50. The statement says that the bond pays a 10% coupon, that is $ 100, which is distributed on two dates, therefore, what is paid on each date is $ 50.

The purchase was made on April 15, that is, three months had passed since the last payment, which was on January 15. Therefore Dc is 3.

Finally, the time between the first payment (January 15) and the second (July 15) is six months. Therefore, Dt is 6.

We replace in the equation:

$AC=\frac{3}{6} *50$

The accrued interest is $25.

3. Clear in the purchase price equation.

Purchase price (PP)= Selling price + Accrued interest

$PP=1,010.40+25$

$PP=1,035.4$

Therefore, the price you would pay for the bond today April 15 is 1,035.4. That means the purchase price is above the par value (1,000).

A newly issued bond pays its coupons once a year. Its coupon rate is 4.1%, its maturity is 15 years, and its yield to maturity i

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

a) 17.53%

b) $41 x 40% = $ 16.40

815.25 - 728.48 = 86.77 capital gain x 30% = $ 26.03

Total: 26.03 + 16.40 = $ 42.43 income tax expense

c) (815.25 + 41 - 42.43) / 728.48 - 1 = 0.1171425 = 11.71%

d)

we recalculate the price of the bond with 13 years left to maturity

holding period return 26.94%

e)

tax expense:

(41x1.02 + 41) x 0.4 = 33.14

(841.87 - 728.48) x 0.3 = 34.02

tax expense: 67.16

after tax return:

(841.87 + 41x1.021 + 41 - 67.16) /728.48 - 1 = 0.177209379 = 17.72%

Explanation:

We need to determinate the value of the bond at yield of 7.1% and at yield of 6.1% which is the sum of the present value of the maturity and coupon payment:

Purchase price:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Coupon payment = 1,000 x 0.041 = 41.00

time 15 years

rate 0.071

$41 \times \frac{1-(1+0.071)^{-15} }{0.071} = PV\\$

PV $371.0773

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 15.00

rate 0.071

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.071)^{15} } = PV$

PV 357.40

PV c $ 371.0773

PV m $ 357.4028

Total $ 728.4801

Selling Price

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 41.00

time 14 (one-year past so maturity is more closer)

rate 0.061

$41 \times \frac{1-(1+0.061)^{-14} }{0.061} = PV\\$

PV $378.7456

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 14.00

rate 0.061

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.061)^{14} } = PV$

PV 436.50

PV c $378.7456

PV m $436.5004

Total $815.2460

Holding period return:

return / investment - 1

(815.25 + 41) / 728.48 - 1 = 0.175387059 = 17.53%

d)

we recalculate the price of the bond with 13 years left to maturity

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 41.00

time 14

rate 0.061

$41 \times \frac{1-(1+0.061)^{-14} }{0.061} = PV\\$

PV $378.7456

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 13.00

rate 0.061

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.061)^{13} } = PV$

PV 463.13

PV c $378.7456

PV m $463.1269

Total $841.8725

and redo the return, tax and after-tax return:

(841.87 + 41x1.021 + 41) /728.48 - 1 = 0.269401333
