Question

Finance

Four years ago, Candy Land Corp. issued a bond with a 14% coupon rate, semi-annual coupon payments, $1,000 face value, and 14-years until maturity.

  1. a) You bought this bond three years ago (right after the bond made its coupon payment) when the yield-to-

    maturity was 10%. How much did you pay for the bond?

  2. b) The current yield-to-maturity is 15%. If you sell the bond today (next coupon payment is in 6 months from

    today), after having owned it for three years, what would be your capital gain/loss yield? Remember, the capital

    gain/loss yield is the return resulting from price changes of your investment.

  3. c) Suppose two years from now (right after the bond made its coupon payment) the bond has a value of $1,154.

    What would be the yield-to-maturity of the bond (APR, semi-annually compounded)? Use Excel or a financial calculator to solve this question.
