1. What is the retail price of a 5 year, $1,000 face value bond that with a coupon rate of 6.0000% with semi-annual payments if
its current yield to maturity is 8.0000%?
m = 2, T = 5; n =m x T = 10
1) Find coupon payment: CPN = FV(rCPN/m) = $1,000(0.06/2) = $30
2) Find VB: P/Y=1, N=10, I/Y=4, PMT=30, FV=1000; CPT,PV: VB = $918.89
OR
P/Y=2, N=10, I/Y=8, PMT=30, FV=1000; CPT,PV: VB = $918.89

2. A $1000 face value bond with a maturity of 3 years and a 7.0000% coupon rate paying annual interest is currently selling for
$1,012.83. What is the yield to maturity of this bond?
1) Find coupon payment: CPN = FV(rCPN/m) = $1,000(0.07/1) = $70
2) Find YTM: P/Y=1, N=3, PV=-1012.83, PMT=70, FV=1000; CPT,I/Y: YTM = 6.5154%
3. A $1000 face value bond with a maturity of 2 years and a 6.8750% coupon rate paying semiannual
interest is currently selling for $985.57. What is the yield to maturity of this bond?
m = 2, T = 2; n =m x T = 4
1) Find coupon payment: CPN = FV(rCPN/m) = $1,000(0.068750/2) = $34.375
2) Find YTM: P/Y=1, N=4, PV=-985.57, PMT=34.375, FV=1000; CPT,I/Y: I/Y = 3.8335; YTM= 3.8335(2) = 7.6669%
OR
P/Y=2, N=4, PV=-985.57, PMT=34.375, FV=1000; CPT,I/Y: YTM= 7.6669%

4. You are considering purchasing a $10,000 face value bond with 16.5 years to maturity and a coupon rate of 5.6600% with
semiannual payments is selling for $10,185.00. The bonds YTM is 5.8150%. What is the bond sellers rate of return?

1) Find Fair Market Value:

CPN = FV(rCPN/m) = 10,000(0.0566/2) = $283.00
m=2, T=16.5; n = 2 x 16.5 = 33
P/Y=2, N=33, I/Y=5.815, PMT=283, FV=10000, CPT,PV = VB = $9,836.97
2) Find Brokers rate of return on sales
($10,185 - $9,836.97 ) / $9,836.97 = 3.5380%

5. At the beginning of the year a $5,000 face value bond paying a coupon rate of 9.2500% APR with quarterly payments and 18
years maturity had a YTM of 9.3500%. At the end of the year the bond sold at par (excluding fees and transaction costs). What
is the bonds total yield for the year?

Total Yield = EAR(rCPN) + Capital Gains Yield

1) Find EAR(rCPN) = (1 + rCPN/m)m 1= (1 + 0.0925/4)4 1 = 9.5758%
2) Find VB(@t = 0): m=4, T= 18: m = m x T = 72 CPN = $5,000(0.0925/4) = $115.625
P/Y=4, N=72, I/Y=9.35, PMT= 115.625, FV=5000; CPT,PV: VB0 = $4,956.655
3) Find Cap Gains Yld: (VB1 VB0)/VB0 = ($5,000 - $4,956.655)/ $4,956.655 = 0.008745 = 0.8745%
Total Yield = 9.5758% + 0.8745% = 10.4503%

[Hint: Recall that return (percentage profit) is (Sales Price - Fair Market Value) / Fair Market Value ]

Bond A
1) Find Retail Price:
CPN = FV(rCPN/m) = 5,000(0.065/2) = $162.50
m=2, T=3; n = 2 x 3 = 6
P/Y=2, N=6, I/Y=6, PMT=162.5, FV=5000, CPT,PV = VB = $5,067.77
2) Find Brokers rate of return on sales
($5,150 - $5,067.77) / $5,067.77 = 1.6237%

Bond B
1) Find Retail Price:
CPN = FV(rCPN/m) = 1,000(0.05/4) = $12.50
m=4, T=1.5; n = 4 x 1.5 = 6
P/Y=4, N=6, I/Y=4, PMT=12.5, FV=1000, CPT,PV = VB = $1,014.49
2) Find Brokers rate of return on sales
($1,040.00 - $1,014.49) / $1,014.49 = 2.5147%

Bond A is more fairly priced

7. A share of common stock has just paid a dividend of $1.45 (D0). The stock is expected to have a constant long-term
dividend growth rate of 5% p.a. If rs is 9.400% what is the price of one share of this stock?

P0 = D0(1 + g) / (rs g) = $1.45(1 + 0.05) / (0.094 0.05) = $34.60

8. A firms stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.50 per share at the end of the 2009. The firm's NI is expected to grow at
an annual rate of 2.8500%. The stock price was $39.23 at the beginning of 2009. By the end of 2009 the price of the firms
stock is expected to rise to $40.35. What is this stock's expected total yield?

E(Total Yield) = E(Div Yld) + E(Cap Gains Yld)

= $1.50/$39.23 + ($40.35 - $39.23) / $39.23
= 3.8236% + 2.8550%
= 6.6786%
