1. You purchase a 10 year 12% semiannual bond with a YTM of 11% and a face value of $10,000. What is the value of the first payment you’ll receive from the bond?

A three-year bond has a coupon rate of 8% and is priced at $950.26. The face value is $1,000 and the bond pays annual coupons.

Calculate the realized (annualized) compound YTM on the bond if the one-year interest rate (with certainty) over the next three years will be, r1 = 8%, r2 = 10%, and r3 = 12%. You buy the bond today and hold it until maturity.

[Note: Assuming today is t = 0 and t = 1 is one year from today, r1 represents the interest rate for the period, t = 0 to t = 1. Similarly, r2 represents the interest rate for the period, t = 1 to t = 2, and r3 represents the interest rate for the period t = 2 to t = 3.]

A 5 year semiannual coupon bond with a face value of $1,000 trades at $938. The market-determined discount rate is 9%. What is the coupon rate? Answer in percent and round to two decimal places.
