1) Remember, a bonds coupon rate partially determines the interest-based return that a bond ( might, will)

2) pay, and a bondholders required return reflects the return that a bondholder (obligated, would like) to receive from a given investment.

3) When the bonds coupon rate is greater than the bondholders required return, the bonds intrinsic value will its par value, and the bond will trade at a premium. (less than, exceed, equal)

4) When the bonds coupon rate is less than the bondholders required return, the bonds intrinsic value will be less than its par value, and the bond will trade at (par, a premium, a discount) variable name)

Variable Value: A: (87.50, 175.00, 43.75, 65.63) C: (3.8125%, 7.2150%, 5.7525%, 5.2500%)

Variable Name: A) (Bonds annual coupon payment, (Bonds semiannual coupon payment, Bonds market price) B) (Bonds per value, Bonds semiannual coupon payment bonds annual coupon payment)

1) Now, consider the situation in which Oliver wants to earn a return of 6.75%, but the bond being considered for purchase offers a coupon rate of 8.75%. Again, assume that the bond pays semiannual interest payments and has three years to maturity. If you round the bonds intrinsic value to the nearest whole dollar, then its intrinsic value of (843, 1265, 1054, 1370)

2) (rounded to the nearest whole dollar) is its par value, so that the bond is ( equal to, greater Than, less than)

3) its par value, so that the bond:( trading at par, trading at premium, trading at a discount)

The process of bond valuation is based on the fundamental concept that the current price of a security can be determined by calculating the present value of the cash flows that the security will generate in the future. There is a consistent and predictable relationship between a bond's coupon rate, its par value, a bondholder's required return, and the bond's resulting intrinsic value. Trading at a discount, trading at a premium, and trading at par refer to particular relationships between a bond's intrinsic value and its par value. This also results from the relationship between a bond's coupon rate and a bondholder's required rate of return. Remember, a bond's coupon rate partially determines the interest-based return that a bond reflects the return that a bondholder to receive from a given investment. The mathematics of bond valuation imply a predictable relationship between the bond's coupon rate, the bondholder's required return, the bond's par value, and its intrinsic value. These relationships can be summarized as follows: - When the bond's coupon rate is equal to the bondholder's required return, the bond's intrinsic value will equal its par value, and the bond will trade at par. - When the bond's coupon rate is greater than the bondholder's required return, the bond's intrinsic value will the bond will trade at a premium. - When the bond's coupon rate is less than the bondholder's required return, the bond's intrinsic value will be less than its par value, and the bond will trade at For example, assume Oliver wants to earn a return of 10.50% and is offered the opportunity to purchase a 51,000 par value bond that pays a 8.75% coupon rate (distributed semiannually) with three years remaining to maturity. The following formula can be used to compute the bond's intrinsic value: Intrinsic Value =(1+C)1A+(1+C)2A+(1+C)3A+(I+C)4A+(1+C)3A+(1+C)6A+(1+C)6B Complete the following table by identifying the appropriate corresponding variables used in the equation. Complete the following table by identifying the appropriate corresponding variables used in the equation. Based on this equation and the data, it is to expect that Oliver's potential bond investment is currently exhibiting an intrinsic value less than $1,000. Now, consider the situation in which Oliver wants to earn a return of 6.75%, but the bond being considered for purchase offers a coupon rate of 8.75\%. Again, assume that the bond pays semiannual interest payments and has three years to maturity. If you round the bond's intrinsic value to the nearest whole dollar, then its intrinsic value of (rounded to the nearest whole dollar) is its par value, so that the bond is
