Last year Carson Industries issued a 10-year, 12% semiannual coupon bond at its par value of $1,000. Currently, the bond can be called in 6 years at a price of $1,060 and it sells for $1,150.

1. What is the bond's nominal yield to maturity? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

   Would an investor be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC?
   -Select-Since the YTC is above the YTM, the bond is not likely to be called.Since the coupon rate on the bond has declined, the bond is not likely to be called.Since the YTM is above the YTC, the bond is likely to be called.Since the YTC is above the YTM, the bond is likely to be called.Since the YTM is above the YTC, the bond is not likely to be called.Item 3
   
2. What is the current yield? (Hint: Refer to Footnote 7 for the definition of the current yield and to Table 7.1.) Round your answer to two decimal places.
   %
   
   Is this yield affected by whether the bond is likely to be called?
   1. If the bond is called, the capital gains yield will remain the same but the current yield will be different.
   2. If the bond is called, the current yield and the capital gains yield will both be different.
   3. If the bond is called, the current yield and the capital gains yield will remain the same but the coupon rate will be different.
   4. If the bond is called, the current yield will remain the same but the capital gains yield will be different.
   5. If the bond is called, the current yield and the capital gains yield will remain the same.

3. What is the expected capital gains (or loss) yield for the coming year? Use amounts calculated in above requirements for calcuation, if reqired. Round your answer to two decimal places. Enter a loss percentage, if any, with a minus sign.

   Is this yield dependent on whether the bond is expected to be called?
   1. The expected capital gains (or loss) yield for the coming year depends on whether or not the bond is expected to be called.
   2. The expected capital gains (or loss) yield for the coming year does not depend on whether or not the bond is expected to be called.
   3. If the bond is expected to be called, the appropriate expected total return is the YTM.
   4. If the bond is not expected to be called, the appropriate expected total return is the YTC.
   5. If the bond is expected to be called, the appropriate expected total return will not change.

Last year, the yield on AAA-rated corporate bonds averaged approximately 5 percent; one year later, the yield on these same bonds had climbed to about 6 percent because the Reserve Bank of Australia increased interest rates during the year. Assume that BHP Billiton Limited issued a 10-year, 5 percent coupon bond one year ago (on 1 January). On the same date, Rio Tinto Limited issued a 20-year, 5 percent coupon bond. Both bonds pay interest annually. Assume that the market rate on similar risk bonds was 5 percent at the time the bonds were issued.

1. Compute the market value of each bond at the time of the issue.
2. Compute the market value of each bond one year after issue if the market yield for similar risk bonds were 6 percent.

you have purchased a 4-year upon bond paying a coupon rate of 10% per year semiannually with a yield to maturity of 8% and a Face value of $1000.

What would your rate of return if you sell the bond 30 days after receiving the first coupon? The reinvestment rate is 3% for these 30 days (not annualized). Assume that bonds bid and ask prices on the market at the time are Bid: $1013.96 and ask: $1019.03. the coupon periods has 182 days.

Consider the following 2 stocks:

1. If correlation between the returns was -.301, calculate the covariance of returns
2. Consider the following portfolio: 65% is invested in stock A and 35% invested in stock: Calculate portfolio standard deviation

A rich aunt has promised you $5000 one year from today. In addition, each year after that, she

has promised you a payment (on the anniversary of the last payment) that is 5% larger than the

last payment. She will continue to show this generosity for 20 years, giving a total of 20 payments.

If the interest rate is 5%, what is her promise worth today?
