Cpn = (coupon rate x face value) / # of coupon payments per year. Bonds: the sooner fv is received the higher the pv, coupon bond pays dividend and zero coupon does not. Tvm: when solving a question in tvm and you get % coupon rate, that is used for your pmt, coupon rate. Semiannual: do not forget to multiply n by 2 cause semiannual and divide i% by 2 as well. Premium: if yield to maturity is less than coupon rate, the bond trading is a premium. Bond sensitivity: the most sensitive has the longest maturity and no coupons. The least sensitive has the shortest maturity and highest coupon rate. Intuitively, higher coupon rates and a shorter maturity typically lower a bond"s interest rate sensitivity. Credit spread = yield to maturity a - yield to maturity b. Voting: non-cumulative voting is individual voting, cumulative voting is voting with proxies. (payout ratio = (1 - retention rate)

You want to make a 5-year investment on bonds, and if you buy bonds with longer period of maturity, they will be sold at the prevailing market price at the end of the fifth year. All coupons will be reinvested. You forecast that the rates are going to change after you purchase the bonds. Now you have three bonds with same initial YTM to consider: A. 5-year maturity, 6% coupon paid annually, YTM=9% B. 10-year maturity, 8% coupon paid annually, YTM=9% C. 15-year maturity, 4% coupon paid annually, YTM=9% To pick the best one, you want to calculate the following:

1) What are the current prices of three bonds based on the initial YTM given? [2 points]Current prices of all bonds are shown below Bond 1: n=5; PMT = 6; YTM = 9%; FV = 100; PV=calculate = 88.33 It can be calculated by putting the values in the financial calculator OR by using the PV formule in excel which is =PV(9%,5,6,100) Bond 2 n=10; PMT = 8; YTM = 9%; FV = 100; PV=calculate = 93.58 Bond 3 n=15; PMT = 4; YTM = 9%; FV = 100; PV=calculate = 59.7

2) If the coupon payments are reinvested at the prevailing market rate (7% for the coming 5 years), what are the future values (at the end of the fifth year) of all five coupon payments for three bonds respectively? [3 points]

3) What are the selling prices of three bonds at the end of the fifth year, given that the prevailing market rate is 8% at that time? (For bond A, use its par value as the final selling price, as it will mature in 5 years). [2 points]
