A) A 30-year Treasury bond expiring on February 15, 2048 with a 3% coupon has a yield of 5%. Calculate its price. Assume the bonds settlement date is June 30th, 2018.
B) You want to buy a bond that pays an annual coupon of 4.2% on March 31st of each year. On June 30th, 2018, the bond is priced at 99-12 (in points and fractions). You decide to buy (and pay for) the bond on that date at that price. What is the final invoice price that you must pay to the bond seller?
C) Consider an original 5-year US Treasury note with a 3.5% coupon expiring on 06/15/2022. If this note sells at 101-07 in the bond market, what would be its yield to maturity?
