Document Summary

Provide info about market"s expectation of future inflation. If you hold a bond & suddenly interest rates change, the value of the bond change dramatically. The risk of the price of the bond changing due to interest rate changes is called interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is quite dependent upon on the length of maturity of the bond. As the bonds maturity increases, interest rate risk goes up. Short maturity bonds have much less interest rate risk: the price of the long-term bond is much more sensitive to interest rate changes than the short-term bond. The long-term bond has much more interest rate risk. However, the pv of the principle is greatly affected by a small change in the interest rate (yield to maturity) if the principle is not going to be received in 15 years. The small change is compounded over 15 years.

You have been hired to analyze the debt securities of your organization. The firm has outstanding loans and bonds. A quick review of the balance sheet shows the following:

	Liability Amount ($)	Nominal Interest (coupon) Rate	Years to Maturity
Selected Liabilities of the firm
Simple Loans	800	5%	1
Fixed-Payment Loans	5,000	12%	19
Long-term Bonds #1	500,000	10%	4
Long-term Bonds #2	1,080,000	10%	10
Liabilities Total	1,585,800

Market Price for Bond #1	930.50
Market Price for Bond #2	859.50
Face Value of Each Bond	1,000.00
Selected Current Assets of the firm
Marketable Securities:
Treasury Bills	100,000

Note: Treasury Bills have a $10,000 face value, which matures in one year. Each Treasury Bill has a cost of $9,580.00

How much interest would the firm pay each year on the simple-interest loan?

How much would you write a cheque for to pay off the loan in one year?

What is the monthly payment needed to pay off the fixed-payment loans?

What is the current yield for each bond if the current price is:

$930.50 for Bond #1?

$859.50 for Bond #2?

What is the expected yield to maturity for each bond?

Bond #1 selling for $930.50?

Bond #2 selling for $859.50

What is the rate of capital gain if both bonds sell for $900.00 in one year?

Bond #1 selling for $930.50 today?

Bond #2 selling for $859.50 today?

If the Yield to Maturity expected by investors changes to 11%:

What will be the market price of Bond #1?

What will be the market price for Bond #2?

What will be the dollar change in price for Bond #1?

What will be the dollar change in price for Bond #2?

What will be the percent change in price for Bond #1?

What will be the percent change in price for Bond #2?

Since the change in expected yield to maturity is the same, why is the amount of change different between the bonds?

If investors holding our 4-year bonds (Bond #1) receive interest income annually for four years, plus the face value of the bonds at maturity,

What will be the total interest earned on the bond over the next four years?

What will be the face value received at maturity?

Given the following projected income stream for Bond #1:

			Projected Reinvestment Rates
Year	Coupon Interest ($)	Face Value ($)	10%	5%
1	100
2	100		10.00	5.00
3	100		21.00	10.25
4	100	1000	33.10	15.76
Total Income	400	1000	64.10	31.01

What is the total cash available over the next four years to the bond holder earning

10%

15%

What is the average annual rate of return for the bond holder earning

10%

15%

Why does the reinvestment rate affect the annual rate of return for the same bond?

If the expected rate of return on our bonds is 10%, what is the duration of Bond #1?

What is the yield to maturity on the Treasury Bills (a discount bond)?

What is the real rate of interest if the nominal rate is 10% and the inflation rate is 3%?
