Q

6-6 the cash Price of a bond

Consider the bond in example 6-3 which pays interest semi-annually, has a $1,000 maturity value and a 5% coupon rate, and is sold on July 14 at a quoted price of $902. Assume this bond matures on June 30, which implies the semi-annual interest payments on this bond are made on June 30 and on Dec 31.
Calculate the cash price of this bond.

A

Cash price =
Quoted price + Accrued Interest

902 + (1,000 x 0.05 x (14/365))
= 902 + 1.92
=903.92

6-7: Estimating the YTM on an Annual-Pay bond

Estimate the YTM on a 10 year, 5% bond that pays annual coupons and is selling for $980.

A
50        PMT
-980    PV
1,000  FV
10         N 
CPT PV = 5.26%   which is  an annual rate
so YTM (annual) = 5.26%

6-8: estimating the YTM on a Semi-annual bond

Estimate the YTM on a 20 year, 6% bond that pays semi-annual coupons and is selling for $1,030.

A

30 PMT
-1,030 PV
1,000 FV
40 N
CPT I/Y = 2.87% which is a semi-annual rate (Kb)
so we multiply by 2 to find the annual YTM

YTM = 2.87% x2 = 5.74%

6-9: Estimating the Yield to Call (YTC)

Estimate the YTC on a 20 year, 6% bond that is callable in 5 years at a call price of $1,050, if the bond pays semi-annual coupons and is selling for $1,030

A

30 PMT
-1,030 PV
1,050 FV
10 N
CPT i/y = 3.081% which is a semi-annual rate (Kb)
so we multiply by 2 to find the annual YTM

YTM = 3.081% x2 = 6.16%

6-8: estimating the YTM on a Semi-annual bond

Estimate the Current Yield on a 20 year, 6% bond that pays semi-annual coupons and is trading for $1,030.

A

B = 1,030
Annual interest = 30 x 2 = 60 Or 1000 x 0.06)

CY = Annual interest / B

60 / 1030 = .0583 or 5.83%

6-12: Determining the Price of T-Bills

Find the price of a 91 day T-bill with a face value of $10,000 that has a quoted yield of 4.2%

A

p = F/ (1+kbey N/365)

F = 10,000
Kbey = 0.042
n = 91

10,000 / 1.010471233 = 9,896.37

6-13: Estimating the yield on a T-Bill

Estimate the yield on a 182 day T-bill that is currently selling at a price of $98.20.

A

Kbey = F-P / P x 365/N

F = 100 
P = 98.20
N = 182
(100 -98.20) / 98.2 
x  365 / 182
= 0.018329939 x 2.005494505
= 0.03676
= 3.676%

A

B = F x (1/ (1+kb) exponent n

F = 1000
N = 15 x2 = 30
Kb = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025

FV 1,000
PV   -560
 CPT I/Y  = 2.94%

double this gives us a YTM of 5.88%

Q

6A-1 Using Interest Rate Parity (IRP)

Assume British interest rates are currently 10% on one year British T-bills. Assume that sterling is quoted at 1 (pound) = C $1.75 and the interest rate on one year T-Bill in Canada is 6%. Find the one year forward exchange rate.

A

K = S x (1 + k domestic) / (1 + K foreign)

175 x (1.06/ 1.10)
= $1.6864

Q

6A-2 An Arbitrage Opportunity when IRP Does not Hold

Determine the ending wealth of two Canadian investors with C$1,000 to invest, assuming the conditions identified in Example 6A-1 exist. Investor 1 invests domestically, while investor 2 invests in Britain and eliminates foreign exchange risk using the forward contract.

A

Investor 1:
ending wealth = C $1,000 x 1.06 = C$1,060

Investor 2:
First convert C$ into Lbs
C1,000 / 1.75 = 571.43

Second: 571.43 invested at 10% grows to 628.57 lbs

third: convert lbs into C$ through forward contract

= lbs 628.57 x 1.6864 = C$1060.02

neither investor is better of by investing in either country (0.02 difference is due to rounding error)

Q

6A-3: An Arbitrage Opportunity when IRP Does not Hold

In example 6A-2, if the forward exchange rate was set at C$1.70 instead of C$1.6864, demonstrate how an investor (arbitrageur) could earn arbitrage (riskless) profit. Assume that anyone can borrow and lend (invest) at the quoted rates
