1. You're now holding a $10,000 bond that matures in 2030. The bond comes with 12% coupons and just cost you $12,700.... a. Confirm that it has a yield-to-maturity of 7%. b. What on earth possessed you to pay $12,700 for a $10,000 bond? 2. A small commercial bakery in Montreal that specializes in cakes and pastries for special occasions (e.g., weddings) has an aging oven. The owner is thinking ahead, thinking that he'd better start setting aside money to buy a new one, probably sometime in the next five to ten years. He's got his eye on the Doyon JA6, a six-pan electric oven with steam injection. They're listing at about $24,000 (all in) now, but the owner suspects they'll be around $26,750 when he's finally ready to purchase. He figures he can afford to put about $3,000 per year into an account earning 8%. How many years, then, will it be until he has the $26,750 he thinks he'll need? 1.
