A company would like to borrow some money but market conditions are such that rates are above the level (in this case, they would have to pay 9 ½% for a 20-year bond issue) they would like to pay over the next 20 years – and above the level they think rates will be at after about 5 or 6 years. They have considered adding a call provision which would allow them to call the debt, after a 5-year “no call” period, at a 10% call premium. What is the call price that the company is committing to and how would you analyze this option? (Think through the costs and the risks)

A company must make a payment of $2500 in 5 years. Four-year zero coupon bonds and seven-year zero coupon bonds are available for investment. These bonds could be purchased in any quantity and the yield rate is 3% effective. Let A and B be the face values of the 4-year and 7-year zero-coupon bonds, respectively, that are purchased to satisfy full immunization against any changes in interest rates. Find A.

Consider that the probability of a reference entity defaulting during a year conditional on no earlier defaults to be 2%; assume that defaults always happen halfway through a year; payments made on a CDS are made once a year, at the end of the year; assume the risk-free rate is 5% with continuous compounding and the recovery rate is 40%. We will value a new credit default swap. We are buying protection on an entity. CDS is 3- years. What is the required spread for a new issue? A. 103.63bps B. 98.32bps C. 132.53bps D. 124.49bps

A mortgage borrower has an outstanding debt at interest rate of J12= 15% and 1050 TL monthly payments for 69 months remaining today. Another bank is offering the same monthly payments but for 63 months only at a lower interest rate. For the refinancing, borrower has to pay 1600 TL expense today. Decide if the borrower should refinance the debt or not by showing the difference of discounted values of two alternatives.
In a discount interest loan, you pay the interest payment up front. For example, if a 1-year loan is stated as $42,000 and the interest rate is 8.50%, the borrower “pays” 0.0850 × $42,000 = $3,570 immediately, thereby receiving net funds of $38,430 and repaying $42,000 in a year. a. What is the effective interest rate on this loan? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) b. What is the effective annual rate on a 1-year loan with an interest rate quoted on a discount basis of 18.50%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
Williams Industries has decided to borrow money by issuing perpetual bonds with a coupon rate of 6.5%, payable annually, and a par value of $1,000. The 1-year interest rate is 6.5%. Next year, there is a 35% probability that interest rates will increase to 8% and a 65% probability that they will fall to 5%. If the company decides instead to make the bonds callable in one year, what coupon will be demanded by the bondholders for the bonds to sell at par? Assume that the bonds will be called if interest rates fall and that the call premium is equal to the annual coupon.
You are looking at a 1 year instrument that pays a 4%p.a. yield, there is also an instrument that is paying a 6% yield that is a ten year debt instrument.Firstly, how do you determine/acknowledge the difference in the yield in general?Secondly, make a zero cost strategy for a period of 10 years in order to see a profit with the two instruments ($1000 reference size and you wont pay from your pocket). Whats the profit you make during the period? Is this profit risk free?
An insurance company is thinking about purchasing bonds A and B with zero coupons to cover some of its future liabilities. The redemption periods for these zero-coupon bonds are seven and twenty years, respectively.£11 million is due in 11 years, and £14 million is due in 16 years, according to the list of its liabilities.Determine bond B's value at an effective 5% annual interest rate so that Redington's theory of immunization's first two requirements are met. (correct answer=6.419) (using formulas, no tables)
Many companies look to re-finance their outstanding debt when interest rates fall significantly. Javert Toy Company has $50.00 million in debt outstanding that pays an 8.75% APR coupon. The debt has an average maturity of 10.00 years. The firm can refinance at an annual rate of 5.25%. That is, investors want 5.25% today for bonds of similar risk and maturity. How much will Javert save on interest payments with this re-finance? You can assume that Javert will issue debt to cover the full price of repurchasing the old debt from part A. (answer in terms of millions, so 1,000,000 would be 1.00) Submit Answer format: Currency: Round to: 4 decimal places.
Third Mortgage Investors makes money by purchasing mortgage backed securities (MBS), stripping them into interest only (IO) and principal only (PO) components, and selling the components for more than it paid for the original security. Suppose the company purchases a $100,000 Face value MBS carrying a coupon of 9 percent and a maturity of 30 years. Assume for the purpose of the following analysis, the MBS will make payments on an “ANNUAL BASIS.” What is the remaining principal balance on the MBS if it survives 1-year? 3-years? 5 years? 8 years?
A mortgage borrower has an outstanding debt at interest rate of J12= 9,08% and 1.158 TL monthly payments for 70 months remaining today. Another bank is offering the same monthly payments but for 64 months only at a lower interest rate. For the refinancing, borrower has to pay 1.900 TL expense today. Decide if the borrower should refinance the debt or not by showing the difference of discounted values of two alternatives. (hint: you must use the same interest rate for discounting two options to be able to compare)
P1)The interest rate is 8.3%. A company wants to sell a one-year bond for $1000 today. There is a 2% chance the company will default on its bond and only be able to repay 94% of the $1000 principal amount (and none of the coupon). What coupon rate must the company set for the bond? Give your answer in percentage to the nearest 0.1 percent.
