Finance

This problem is based on Problem 28 of the textbook on page 197. Suppose you (U.S. investor) purchase a 10-year, AA-rated Swiss bond for par that is paying an annual coupon of 9 percent. The bond has a face value of 1,000 Swiss francs (SF). The spot rate at the time of purchase is SF1.05/$. At the end of the year 1, the bond is downgraded to A-rated and the yield increases to 9.075436 percent continuously compounded. In addition, the SF depreciates to SF1.15/$. Assume that a U.S. investor holds this bond for a year. Compute the continuously compounded overall holding period return at the end of year 1, that is t = 1 year, for the U.S. investor.
