Question

1. Consider two bonds, each with an interest rate (i) of 5%, coupon payments (C) of $20, and face values (F) of $1000. The first bond matures in 20 years and the second bond matures in 10 years.

(a) Find the prices of the two bonds. Next price a console with the same interest rate and coupon payment. Report F × i.

(b) Repeat part (a) when the coupon payment is $100.

(c) Repeat part (a) once again with a coupon payment of $50.

(d) What does this tell you about the price of a console relative to long-run bonds?

Answer 1

Pls see the values of the two bonds under different Coupon payment scenarios in the table below.

The values of the Consol under the three scenarios are:

a) $20 / 0.05 = $400

b) $100 / 0.05 = $2000

c) $50 / 0.05 = $1000

	a)				b)				c)
