Consider a group of coupon paying bond with zero credit-default risk. Each have a par value of $100. Each are trading at par value. Their maturity period range from 1 year to 5 years. Determine the spot rate for all five bonds. (Hint: This a par curve where the coupon rate is equal to the yield to maturity.
The detail is given in the table

Consider a bond (with par value = $1,000) paying a coupon rate of 7% per year semiannually when the market interest rate is only 6% per half-year. The bond has 3 years until maturity. a. Find the bond's price today and 6 months from now after the next coupon is paid. b. What is the total (6-month) rate of return on the bond? Hint: rate of return = (Interest amount + Price Appreciation)/Initial Price
