Question 29
Suppose you have a 20-year bond paying 8% semiannual coupon, with face value of US$100.
Assuming that YTM is 7%, 8% and 9%, use the Excel PRICE function to calculate the bond price over
time, that is, as we approach maturity. As we approach maturity, what happens to the price of the
bond?
Hint: Leaving the maturity date constant, change the settlement date by one year at a time to reflect
the passage of time.

Question 31
Suppose that on October 22, 2015 you buy a bond which paid the last annual coupon on June 15, and which has the following
Question 32
Find the Dirty Price.
Hint: This should be straightforward now that you have the Clean Price and Accrued Interest.
Question 33
Calculate the YTM of the bond.
Hint: From the previous question, you now know the Dirty Price, which is also equal to the discounted future cash flows. Thus
rate at which you discount the cash flows to produce a present value equal to the Dirty Price. You will use Goal Seek for this pu
An added complication is that, given that you purchased the bond in between coupon dates, the discounting periods will not b
That is, you will be discounting flows for x, 1+x 2+x, 3+x,… years ahead, where x is the fraction of years between the settlemen
next coupon date. Finally, note that the calculation basis for Price and Yield is not the same as for Accrued Interest.
Questions 35-36
Suppose you have a portfolio of ten semiannual coupon bonds, as shown below.
After calculating the total market value of the portfolio, find the portfolio semiannual YTM, YTM and effective yield.
Hint: This is another Goal Seek problem. If you know the portfolio value and its cash flows, then the semiannual YTM will be the
value. You can then easily convert it to a bond-equivalent and effective yield.
