2 Suppose that a bond with maturity value m = 100 pays a coupon of c = 3.5 for two years (t = 2). Assume that the yield is y = 4.1%. Find: a) The price of the bond. [2 marks] b) Macauley Duration. [2 marks] Refer to the bond described above as bond 1, and assume that another bond (bond 2) is also available with m = 100, c = 3.65, 1 = 8, y = 4.4%. c) A company has signed a contract to pay 10m to a client in six years' time. In what combination should the company purchase the two bonds in order to eliminate interest rate risk? [3 marks) Consider C grade bonds with average cumulative default rate 19.1 for year 4 and 22.53 for year 5. d) For these bonds, what is the 1-year hazard rate for the 5th year? [3 marks) To fund an expansion in its operations Company X has just issued 20-year zero coupon bonds with a total face value of 195 million, taking its total asset value to 925 million. e) Explain how the value of the bonds can be expressed in terms of a European put option. [2 marks] f) Calculate the fair price of a holding of company bonds with face value of 100 using Black-Scholes model, given that the price of a 20-year zero- coupon government bond is 65.7047. Assume that the annualized volatility of the company's asset's over 20-year period is 27%. [3 marks] g) Estimate the risk-neutral probability of default on the company's bond. [1 mark] h) Suppose that the stock price at time zero is SO = 84. The continuously compounded risk free rate is 1.7%, and that a European call option written on S with strike price 80 and time to expiry T = 1 year has delta of 0.645 and trades for 12.2887.
