Here are data on $1,000 par value bonds issued by Walmart and Pfizer. Assume you are thinking about buying these bonds.

                     

	Walmart	Pfizer
Coupon	5%	4%
Years to Maturity	20	10
Required Return	4%	6%

Answer the following questions:

a)     Assuming interest is paid annually, calculate the values of each of the bonds (10 points)

b)     How would these values change if the coupon was paid semiannually (10 points

c)     Assume that the bonds with the coupon that is paid annually (point a) are selling for the following amounts:

Walmart $1,100

Pfizer $980

What are the expected rates of return (YTM) for each bond? (10 points)

d)     How would change the price of each bond if the required rate of return (current 4% for Walmart and 6% for the Pfizer and with annual coupon) increased by 2% (10 points). What will you deduce about the relationship between market interest rate and bond prices?
