Marley Corporation's bonds have four years left to maturity. Interest is paid annually, and the bonds have a $1,000 par value and a coupon rate of 5%. If the price of the bond is $841.51, the yield to maturity is _____. (Use trial and error to calculate yield).

10% Reason: First, calculate the coupon payment: $1,000 x .05 = $50. Next, discount the payments at each yield to determine the appropriate yield that gives a bond price of $841.51. You will see that by doing trial and error on the 4 given yields in the multiple choice question (5%, 8%, 10%, and 12%), the correct yield is 10%: $841.51 = $50/(1+.1) + $50/(1+.1)22+ $50/(1+.1)33+ $1,050/(1.1)4

Mortor's Corporation sold 6 year bonds for $1,072.62, with a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 8%. The annual yield to maturity is

6.5% Reason: First, calculate the coupon payment: $1,000 x .08 = $80. Next, discount the payments at each yield to determine the appropriate yield that gives a bond price of $1,072.62. You will see that by doing trial and error on the 4 given yields in the multiple choice question (6%, 6.5%, 7%, and 7.5%), the correct yield is 6.5%: $1,072.62 = $80/(1+.065) + $80/(1+.065)22+ $80/(1+.065)33+ $80/(1.+.065)44+ $80/(1 + .065)55+ $1,080/(1+.065)6

If the nominal rate of interest is 10% and the rate of inflation is 3%, the real interest rate is ____.

6.8% Reason: 1 + real interest rate = (1 +.1)/(1 +.03) = 1.068 - 1 = .068 or 6.8%

When the interest rate is lower than the coupon rate on a bond, the price of the bond will be:

Higher than face value Reason: Take, for example, a 5 year, $1,000 bond offering a 10% coupon. If the interest rate is less than the coupon rate - for example, if the interest rate is 5%, the PV of the bond would be: $100/(1.05)1 + $100/(1.05)2 + $100/(1.05)3 + $100/(1.05)4 + $1,100/(1.05)5 = $1,216.47 - a higher price than the $1,000 face value.

The price of a bond is equal to the

PV(coupon) plus PV(face value)

What is the term used in finance to represent simple, standard, and common?

less

If interest rates rise, the rate of return on a bond will be _____ the yield to maturity.

less than

When the interest rate is higher than a bond's coupon rate, the bond will be priced at:

less than face value Reason: Take, for example, a 5 year, $1,000 bond offering a 10% coupon. If the interest rate is higher than the coupon rate - for example, if the interest rate is 12%, the PV of the bond would be: $100/(1.12)1 + $100/(1.12)2 + $100/(1.12)3 + $100/(1.12)4 + $1,100/(1.12)5 = $927.90 - a lower price than the $1,000 face value.

The price of a bond can be quoted as a _____ of face value.
