will rate if answer all questions and correct

a.What is the value of the bond if the market's required yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 8 percent?

b. (i)What is the value of the bond if the market's required yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond increases to 10 percent?

b. (ii)What is the value of the bond if the market's required yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond decreases to 7 percent?

c.The change in the value of a bond caused by changing interest rates is called interest-rate risk. Based on the answers in part b, a decrease in interest rates (the yield to maturity) will cause the value of a bond to increase; by contrast, an increase in interest rates will cause the value to -increase/decrease-?

Also, based on the answers in part b,if the yield to maturity (current interest rate):

c.1 equals the coupon interest rate, the bond will sell at -par/ a discount/ a premium-?

c.2 exceeds the bond's coupon rate, the bond will sell at -par/ a discount/ a premium-?

c.3 is less than the bond's coupon rate, the bond will sell at -par/ a discount/ a premium-?

d.Assume the bond matures in 5 years instead of 30 years, what is the value of the bond if the yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 6 percent?

d.1 Assume the bond matures in 5 years instead of30 years, what is the value of the bond if the yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 12 percent?

d.2 Assume the bond matures in 5 years instead of 30 years, what is the value of the bond if the yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 5 percent?

E. From the findings in part d, we can conclude that a bondholder owning a long-term bond is exposed to- more/the same/less -interest-rate risk than one owning a short-term bond.

(Bond valuation relationships) Arizona Public Utilities issued a bond that pays $70 in interest, with a $1,000 par value. It matures in 30 years. The market's required yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 8 percent. a. Calculate the value of the bond. b. How does the value change if the market's required yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond (1) increases to 10 percent or (ii) decreases to 7 percent? c. Explain the implications of your answers in part b as they relate to interest-rate risk, premium bonds, and discount bonds. d. Assume that the bond matures in 5 years instead of 30 years. Recompute your answers in parts a and b. e. Explain the implications of your answers in part d as they relate to interest-rate risk, premium bonds, and discount bonds. a. What is the value of the bond if the market's required yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 8 percent
