1- You are considering the purchase of a $1,000 par value bond
with an 6.5% coupon rate
(with interest paid semiannually) that matures in 12 years. If the
bond is priced to provide
a required return of 8%, what is the bond’s current price?
2- Two bonds have par values of $1,000. One is a 5%, 15-year
bond priced to yield 8%. The
other is a 7.5%, 20-year bond priced to yield 6%. Which of these
has the lower price?...
