Instructions:
After reading Chapter 11 in the Gapenski and Reiter text, solve the problems found in the Assignment #4 Word document below. Responses should be in Times New Roman, 12-point font, one-inch margins, and single-spaced. The completed assignment should not exceed three pages in length. If you use an Excel spreadsheet to solve the problems, embed your Excel work in the Word document using the embed function, allowing you to still only submit a single Word document. This assignment should be completed individually. Your finished homework file should be named using the First initial of your first name_Your last name_Module_4_Homework (i.e., J_Smith_Module_4_Homework).
Problems: (found on the Assignment #4 Word document linked below)
11.1 Assume Venture Healthcare sold bonds that have a ten-year maturity, a 12 percent coupon rate with annual payments, and a $1,000 par value.
Suppose that two years after the bonds were issued, the required interest rate fell to 7 percent. What would be the bonds’ value?
Suppose that two years after the bonds were issued, the required interest rate rose to 13 percent. What would be the bonds’ value?
What would be the value of the bonds three years after issue in each scenario above, assuming that interest rates stayed steady at either 7 percent or 13 percent?
11.2 Twin Oaks Health Center has a bond issue outstanding with a coupon rate of 7 percent and four years remaining until maturity. The par value of the bond is $1,000, and the bond pays interest annually.
Determine the current value of the bond if present market conditions justify a 14 percent required rate of return.
Now, suppose Twin Oaks’s four-year bond has semiannual coupon payments. What would be its current value? (Assume a 7 percent semiannual required rate of return. However, the actual rate would be slightly less than 7 percent because a semiannual coupon bond is slightly less risky than an annual coupon bond.)
Assume that Twin Oaks’s bond had a semiannual coupon, but 20 years remaining to maturity. What is the current value under these conditions? (Again, assume a 7 percent semiannual required rate of return, although the actual rate would probably be greater than 7 percent because of increased price risk.)
11.5 Minneapolis Health System has bonds outstanding that have four years remaining to maturity, a coupon interest rate of 9 percent paid annually, and a $1,000 par value.
What is the yield to maturity on the issue if the current market price is $829?
If the current market price is $1,104?
Would you be willing to buy one of these bonds for $829 if you required a 12 percent rate of return on the issue? Explain your answer.
11.7 Regal Health Plans issued a 12 percent annual coupon bond with a $1,000 par value a few years ago. The bond now has ten years remaining to maturity and sells for $1,100. The bond has a call provision that allows Regal to call the bond in four years at a call price of $1,060.
What is the bond’s yield to maturity?
What is the bond’s yield to call?
