18
Q

Normal Yield Curve

A

no change is expected in inflation; the requirement for a higher interest rate to compensate for tying up cash for a longer term shows through

19
Q

Corporate Bonds

A

a long-term debt instrument indicating that a corporation that borrowed a certain amount of money and promises to repay it in the future

20
Q

Coupon Interest Rate

A

the percentage of a bond’s par value that will be paid annually, typically in two equal semiannual payments, as interest

21
Q

Par Value (FV)

A

The amount borrowed by the company and the amount owed to the bond holder on the maturity date (never changes)

22
Q

Bond Maturity Date

A

The time at which a bond becomes due and the principal must be repaid

23
Q

Interest Rate Risk

A

The chance that interest rates will change and thereby change the required return and bond value

24
Q

Yield to Maturity (YTM)

A

The rate of return that investors earn if they buy a bond at a specific price and hold it until maturity

25
Q

Five Bond Elements of YTM

A
  • FV - face value
  • PMT - coupon payment (Annual PMT = coupon rate * FV)
  • N - # of periods (Typically semiannually; N=2)
  • RATE - YTM or Rate of Return
  • PV - price of the bond
26
Q

YTM < Coupon

A

Premium

27
Q

YTM > Coupon

A

Discount

28
Q

YTM = Coupon

A

Par

29
Q

Three Checks

A
  • 3 adjustments for semiannual
  • Did price / interest rate relationship hold (thumb thing)
  • Price between $700 and $1300
30
Q

A

Lower, Higher

31
Q

A

will always equal the coupon interest rate

32
Q

When the bond value differs from par, the YTM…

A

will differ from the coupon interest rate
