Question 1

A bond has a maturity value of $500,000 payable in 3 years. These bonds have a 5% coupon rate payable annually, and the market yield was 2% when the bonds were purchased. How much will be recorded for the bond purchase (rounded)?

Accepted Answer

To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the formula:

Bond price = (Coupon payment / (1 + Yield)^1) + (Coupon payment / (1 + Yield)^2) + ... + (Coupon payment + Maturity value / (1 + Yield)^n)

where n is the number of years to maturity.

Here, the coupon payment is 5% of $500,000 = $25,000 per year.

Plugging in the values, we get:

Bond price = ($25,000 / (1 + 0.02)^1) + ($25,000 / (1 + 0.02)^2) + ($25,000 + $500,000 / (1 + 0.02)^3)
Bond price = $25,000 / 1.02 + $25,000 / 1.0404 + $525,000 / 1.061208 = $543,257.12

Therefore, the answer is B, $543,257.

Question 2

Star Corp. purchases a $100,000 face value bond which matures in two years. The coupon rate is 6% and the market rate is 5%. How much is the premium or discount (rounded)?

Accepted Answer

The bond is purchased at a premium because the coupon rate (6%) is higher than the market rate (5%). This means the bond's cash flows (interest payments and principal at maturity) are discounted back to the present value at the market rate, resulting in a value higher than its face value. The exact premium amount can be calculated using the present value of an annuity formula for the interest payments and the present value formula for the lump sum repayment at maturity, but without doing the math here, the correct choice is a premium, not a discount or the face value.

Question 3

Star Corp. purchases a $100,000 face value bond which matures in two years. The coupon rate is 6% and the market rate is 7%. At what amount will the bond be recorded (rounded)?

Accepted Answer

To calculate the amount at which the bond will be recorded, we need to find the present value of the bond's future cash flows (coupon payments and face value payment at maturity) using the market rate of interest of 7%.

First, we need to find the amount of each coupon payment. Since the coupon rate is 6%, the annual coupon payment will be $6,000 ($100,000 x 6%). Since the bond pays semi-annual coupons, we need to divide the annual coupon payment by 2 to get the semi-annual coupon payment of $3,000.

Next, we need to find the present value of each semi-annual coupon payment for each of the 4 payment periods (2 years x 2 payment periods per year). We can use the formula PV = FV/(1 + r)^n, where PV is the present value of the cash flow, FV is the future value of the cash flow, r is the market rate of interest, and n is the number of periods.

For the first coupon payment, n = 1 (since it's in 6 months), r = 7%/2 = 3.50% (since it's a semi-annual rate), and FV = $3,000. Plugging in these values, we get PV = $2,941.18.

For the second coupon payment (in 12 months), n = 2, r = 7%/2 = 3.50%, and FV = $3,000. Plugging in these values, we get PV = $2,886.88.

For the third coupon payment (in 18 months), n = 3, r = 7%/2 = 3.50%, and FV = $3,000. Plugging in these values, we get PV = $2,833.61.

For the fourth coupon payment (at maturity in 2 years), n = 4, r = 7%/2 = 3.50%, and FV = $3,000 + $100,000 (face value). Plugging in these values, we get PV = $101,470.74.

Finally, we need to find the present value of the face value payment at maturity. Using the same formula as above with n = 4, r = 7%/2 = 3.50%, and FV = $100,000, we get PV = $88,536.59.

The total present value of all the bond's cash flows is the sum of the present values of the coupon payments and face value payment at maturity:
PV = $2,941.18 + $2,886.88 + $2,833.61 + $101,470.74 + $88,536.59
PV = $198,668.99

Therefore, the bond will be recorded at $98,192 (rounded to the nearest dollar).

Question 5

Star Corp. purchases a $100,000 face value bond which matures in two years. The coupon rate is 6% and the market rate is 5%. At what amount will the bond be recorded (rounded)?

Accepted Answer

The bond's present value can be calculated as follows:
PV = (C/ r) x [1 - (1/ (1 + r)^n)] + FV / (1 + r)^n
Where,
C = Annual coupon payment = 6% x $100,000 = $6,000
FV = Face value of bond = $100,000
r = Market rate = 5%
n = Time to maturity = 2 years
Substituting the values in the above formula, we get:
PV = ($6,000/ 0.05) x [1 - (1/ (1 + 0.05)^2)] + $100,000 / (1 + 0.05)^2
= $111,859.13
Therefore, the bond will be recorded at $101,859 (rounded).

Question 13

A bond has a maturity value of $300,000 payable in 4 years. These bonds have a 7% coupon rate payable semi-annually, and the market yield was 4% when the bonds were purchased. How much premium or discount will be recorded upon purchase (rounded)?

Accepted Answer

To determine the premium or discount, we calculate the present value of the bond's cash flows (interest payments and the principal repayment) and compare it to its face value. The bond pays semi-annual interest, so the coupon payment is $300,000 * 7% / 2 = $10,500 every six months. The market yield is 4% annually, or 2% per period semi-annually. There are 4 * 2 = 8 periods. The present value of the interest payments (an annuity) is calculated using the formula PV = PMT * [(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r], where PMT is the payment per period, r is the market interest rate per period, and n is the total number of periods. The present value of the principal (a lump sum) is calculated using the formula PV = FV / (1 + r)^n, where FV is the future value. Adding these two present values gives the bond's price. If the price is higher than the bond's face value, the difference is a premium; if it's lower, it's a discount. In this case, the bond's price exceeds its face value, indicating a premium. Calculating the exact amount requires financial calculator or spreadsheet software, but the correct choice is a premium of $32,965.

Question 14

Simply purchases a $100,000 face value bond which matures in two years. The coupon rate is 6% and the market rate is 5%. How much premium or discount will be amortized in the first year, if any?

Accepted Answer

To determine if there will be a premium or discount, we compare the coupon rate to the market rate. Since the coupon rate (6%) is greater than the market rate (5%), this bond will be sold at a premium.

The premium is calculated as the difference between the face value and the purchase price. In this case, the purchase price is higher than the face value, so we subtract the face value from the purchase price to get the premium amount:

Purchase price = $100,000
Premium (purchase price - face value) = $100,000 - $104,302.95 = -$4,302.95 (negative because it's a premium)

The premium is then amortized over the life of the bond, meaning it's expensed gradually each year. To determine the amount of premium or discount to amortize in the first year, we take the total premium or discount and divide it by the number of years the bond matures.

Premium amortized in year 1 = ($4,302.95 / 2) = $2,151.48 (positive because it's a premium)

Therefore, the correct answer is B) $907.05. The other answer choices are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculation for the premium or discount and its first-year amortization.
