1. Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annual coupon payments. Suppose a German company issues a bond with a par value of €1,000, 20 years to maturity, and a coupon rate of 7 percent paid annually.
If the yield to maturity is 8.1 percent, what is the current price of the bond? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
2. Heginbotham Corp. issued 10-year bonds two years ago at a coupon rate of 7.5 percent. The bonds make semiannual payments. If these bonds currently sell for 105 percent of par value, what is the YTM? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
3. Union Local School District has bonds outstanding with a coupon rate of 3.8 percent paid semiannually and 29 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on these bonds is 2.9 percent and the bonds have a par value of $10,000.
What is the price of the bonds? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
