1. Consider a zero-coupon bond with a yield to maturity (YTM) of 5%, a face value of $1000, and a
maturity date 10 years from today. What are you willing to pay for this bond today? What will you
be willing to pay for this bond 3 years from today?
Current Yield (year 1) = 40/956.71 = .0418 or 4.18%
NOTE: CGY + Current Yield = .82 + 4.18 = 5% = YTM
Bond Value (2 years from now) = (40/.05)*(1-1/1.05^3) + 1000/1.05^3 = $972.77
CGY = (972.77 - 964.54)/964.54 = .0085 or .85%
Current Yield (year 2) = 40/964.54 = .0415 or 4.15%
NOTE: CGY + Current Yield = .85 + 4.15 = 5% = YTM

7. Consider a bond that promises to make coupon payments of $150 per year for the next 7 years
and coupon payments of $350 per year for the remaining lifetime of the bond. The face value is

20% growth for 1 year, 2 years then locked in at 2 after that
40% growth after 2 years (year 3), t increases until it hits 5
Once t hits 5, 3% forever kicks in, s0 51.03. Then divided by 15% required return - 3% 1+r ^
