Donald purchases a 15-year bond that pays semi-annual coupons at 5% annual coupon rate. He pays 2,345 for the bond, which can be called at its par value X on any coupon date starting at the end of year 10. The price guarantees that Donald will receive a yield of at least 4% convertible semi-annually. Joe purchases a 15 year bond identical to Donald's, except it is not callable. Assuming the same yield, what is the price of Joe's bond.
A 15 year bond has a par-value of 500 and pays semi-annual coupons at a 7% rate. An investor purchases the bond at a price such that its yield to maturity is 6% convertible semi-annually. The investor sells the bond immediately after 8th payment at a price such that its new owner's yield to maturity is 5% convertible semi-annually. What was the original investor's yield convertible semi-annually on this investment over the 4-year period?
