Problem 07.050 - IRR of high-interest bond During recessionary periods, bonds that were issued many years ago have a higher coupon rate than currently issued bonds. Therefore, they may sell at a premium, a price higher than their face value, because of currently low coupon rates. A $50,000 bond that was issued 15 years ago is for sale for $56,000. What rate of return per year will a purchaser make if the bond coupon rate is 15% per year payable semi-annually, and the bond is due 5 years from now?

Can you please walk me through this? Problem 6-11 DEFAULT RISK PREMIUM A company’s 5-year bonds are yielding 7.75% per year. Treasury bonds with the same maturity are yielding 5 2% per year, and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 2.3%. The average inflation premium is 2 5%; and the maturity risk premium is estimated to be 0.1 x (t 1) %, where t = number of years to maturity. If the liquidity premium is 1%, what is the default risk premium on the corporate bonds?
Problem 2: Complex Systems has an outstanding issue of $1,000-par-value bonds with a 12% coupon interest rate. The issue pays interest annually and has 11years remaining to its maturity date. If bonds of similar risk are currently earning a rate of return of 7%, how much should the Complex Systems bond sell for today? a. b. Describe the two possible reasons why the rate on similar-risk bonds is below the coupon interest rate on the Complex Systems bond. If the required return were at 12% instead of 7%, what would be the current value of Complex Systems' bond? Contrast this finding with your findings in part a and discuss. C.

Q. A company's bond has a coupon rate of 9.00% and has 19 years remaining until maturity. The company's bonds pay interest semi-annually. Due to a cash flow problem, the company will be unable to pay the interest payments for periods 8, 9, and 10. These missed payments will be repaid in one lump sum when the bond matures, without interest. If the Yield to Maturity (YTM) on similar bonds is 8%, what is the intrinsic value of this bond?
Prob. 1. Default Risk A firm issued an 8% coupon bond (semiannual coupon payment) 20 years ago. The bond now has 10 years left until its maturity date, but the firm is having financial difficulty. Investors believe that the firm will be able to make interest rate payments only for the first eight years. Starting in year nine, the firm will not be able to pay any coupon. In total, the firm will miss four coupon payments. Also, investors believe that the firm will be forced into bankruptcy eventually and bondholders will receive only 75% of par value. a) If the required interest rate is 11%, what is the present value of the coupon payments that the firm is able to pay? What is the present value of the par that the firm is able to pay? b) What should the bond be selling at? c) What is the stated yield-to-maturity (YTM) of the bond?

5. Zero Coupon Bonds The English Tea Company issues 8-year, zero coupon, $1000 par value bonds; these bonds pay no interest but can be redeemed for par value at maturity. To price these bonds competitively with bonds of similar risk, ETC determines that a yield of 7% should be offered. Calculate the value of the bonds now (with 8 years remaining until maturity) and for each year until maturity in 1-year increments (assuming no change in the required rate of return), then graph your results. Explain the behavior of the bond's value over time.
