Problem 13-01 A $1,000 bond has a coupon of 8 percent and matures after ten years. Assume that the bond pays interest annually. a. What would be the bond's price if comparable debt yields 9 percent? Use Appendix B and Appendix D to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. b. What would be the price if comparable debt yields 9 percent and the bond matures after five years? Use Appendix B and Appendix D to answer the question. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ c. Why are the prices different in a and b? The price of the bond in a is less than the price of the bona in b as the principal payment of the bond in a is further out than the principal payment of the bond in b (in time). d. What are the current yields and the yields to maturity in a and b? Round your answers to two decimal places.
