[Problem 3 is a two-step problem. First part (Part A) requires you to find theoretical value of a regular coupon bond. The second part requires you to construct an arbitrage strategy.] Consider three 5-year regular coupon bonds; each bond has a face value of $100. All bonds mature on the same date. All bonds pay annual coupons at the same point in time. The coupons and current market prices for these bonds are given as following. Bond A B C COUPON $8.000 $4.000 $7.000 Market PRICE $95.169 $80.552 $91.000 Assuming that current market prices of Bond A and Bond B are correct, then what should be the theoretical (fundamental) market price of Bond C, as per the no-arbitrage principle? [Round-off to at least four decimal places.] Activ Go to S [Problem 3 is a two-step problem. First part (Part A) requires you to find theoretical value of a regular coupon bond.
