You buy an 8 percent, 25 year, 1000 par value floating rate bond in 1999. By the year 2004, rates on bonds of similar risk are up to 11 percent. What is your one best guess as to the value of the bond?
You consider purchasing bonds today. There are three future time periods, t = 1, 2, 3, wherebonds can have payoffs. Consider the following 4 bonds: a) One amortizing bond paying $40 each period trading at a price of $104.95.b) One amortizing bond paying less in early periods and more in later periods. The bond pays $40 inperiod 1, $30 in period 2, and $20 in period 3. This bond is trading at a price of $80.61.c) One coupon bond with a 11% coupon rate trading at a price of $96.08.d) One zero coupon, which currently trades at a price of $77.22. Suppose you can take long or short positions in any bond, and also lend or borrow money.
