Problem 7-10 Current yield, capital gains yield, and yield to maturity

Hooper Printing Inc. has bonds outstanding with 24 years left to maturity. The bonds have an 12% annual coupon rate and were issued 1 year ago at their par value of $1,000. However, due to changes in interest rates, the bond's market price has fallen to $920.70. The capital gains yield last year was - 7.93%.

a.What is the yield to maturity? Round your answer to two decimal places. %

b.For the coming year, what is the expected current yield? (Hint: Refer to Footnote 7 for the definition of the current yield and to Table 7.1.) Round your answer to two decimal places. % c.For the coming year, what is the expected capital gains yield? (Hint: Refer to Footnote 7 for the definition of the current yield and to Table 7.1.) Round your answer to two decimal places. %

d.Will the actual realized yields be equal to the expected yields if interest rates change? If not, how will they differ? (select multiple choice answer)

-As long as promised coupon payments are made, the current yield will change as a result of changing interest rates. However, changing rates will cause the price to change and as a result, the realized return to investors should equal the YTM.

-As long as promised coupon payments are made, the current yield will change as a result of changing interest rates. However, changing rates will not cause the price to change and as a result, the realized return to investors should equal the YTM.

-As rates change they will cause the end-of-year price to change and thus the realized capital gains yield to change. As a result, the realized return to investors will differ from the YTM.
