QUESTION 1
Determine whether
Bond E is overvalued,
undervalued or fairly
valued. All coupons
are paid annually.
, The price of the 3-year coupon bond (as a percent of par) is:
N = 3; I/YR = 2.711; PMT = 5; FV = 100;
Compute PV = –106.51
The no-arbitrage price of the 3-year coupon bond based on spot (zero-coupon) rates is:
5 5 105
+ + = 106.51
1.02350 (1.02500)2 1.027253
Therefore the 3-year coupon bond's price equals its no-arbitrage value, therefore the bond
is fairly valued.
QUESTION 2
Explain to Kgomotso why her method leads to an incorrect answer, and advise her on the

Kgomotso’s method uses the yield-to-maturity as the input for I/YR.
Yield-to-maturity is not appropriate for arbitrage-free valuation when the yield curve is not
flat.
She should value each cash flow separately using the corresponding spot rate.
