(b) Consider the following two financial assets: (1) an ordinary share that is expected to pay a dividend of £2 next year with dividend growth expected to be 4% per annum thereafter; (ii) a corporate bond with an annual coupon rate of 7%, par (face) value of £1000, and maturity of 5 years. If the required return on similar UK equities is 10% and on similar UK bonds is 6%, calculate the value of the UK stock and the UK bond. (c) Explain the duration of a bond. Using the data given above (in b), calculate the duration of the corporate bond.

Suppose you are considering two possible investment opportunities: a 12-yearTreasury bond and a 7-year, A-rated corporate bond. The current real risk-free rateis 4%, and inflation is expected to be 2% for the next 2 years, 3% for the following4 years, and 4% thereafter. The maturity risk premium is estimated by this formula:MRP = 0.02(t - 1)%. The liquidity premium (LP) for the corporate bond is estimatedto be 0.3%. You may determine the default risk premium (DRP), given thecompany’s bond rating, from the table below. Remember to subtract the bond’s LPfrom the corporate spread given in the table to arrive at the bond’s DRP. Whatyield would you predict for each of these two investments?RateCorporate Bond Yield
