47 14. Bond A and Bond B both have $5000 par value with 8% semiannual coupons maturing at par in 2 years. Bond A is a regular bond and Bond B is a TIPS bond. (a) Find the price of Bond A if the yield rate is to be 7%. 200 a = $ (b) Find the price of Bond B if the yield rate is to be the same as for Bond A and the inflation rate is 1.5% for each six month period = $

48 15. Read Text Exercise 9-8. (a) Using the information given about Bond A, find the yield rate corresponding to the given price; you can use a financial calculator or Excel to do this. (b) Find the price of Bond B if the yield rate is to be the same as for Bond A, as requested in the exercise.

49 16. If $15,000 is invested in a project immediately, it is expected that there will be a return of $8000 in one year and a return of $12,000 in two years. The nominal yield rate does not take inflation into account, and the real yield rate does. (a) Find the nominal yield rate. The equation of value is (1 + i) (1 + i) 2 = 0 15(1 + i) 2 8(1 + i) 12 = 0 (1 + i) = 1.2 i = 0.2 or 20% (b) Find the real yield rate if inflation is expected to be 3% for the next two years.

50 (c) Find the real yield rate if inflation is expected to be 3% for the next year and 4% for the year after that. The equation of value is (1.03) 1 (1 + i / ) (1.03) 1 (1.04) 1 (1 + i / ) 2 = 0 15(1 + i / ) 2 8(1.03) 1 (1 + i / ) 12(1.03) 1 (1.04) 1 = 0 (1 + i / ) = i / = or 16.1%

51 Chapter 10 Exercises

52 9. Do Text Exercise (a) Do part (a) by comparing the coupon rate with at-par yield rate calculated in the previous exercise. Since 6% < 8.88%, it is a discount bond. (b) Do part (b).
