a. Assuming the bonds will be rated AA, what will be the price of the bonds? b. How much of the total principal amount of these bonds must HMK issue to raise $10.0 million today, assuming the bonds are AA rated? (Because HMK cannot issue a fraction of a bond, assume that all fractions are rounded to the nearest whole number.) c. What must be the rating of the bonds for them to sell at par? d. Suppose that when the bonds are issued, the price of each bond is $960.82. What is the likely rating of the bonds? Are they junk bonds? a. Assuming the ponas will be rated AA, what will be the price of the bonas? The price of the bonds will be $ (Round to the nearest cent.) b. How much of the total principal amount of these bonds must HMK issue to raise $10.0 million today, assuming the bonds are AA rated? (Because HMK cannot issue a fraction of a bond, assume that all fractions are rounded to the nearest whole number.) The number of bonds to be issued is [ (Round up to the nearest integer.) c. What must be the rating of the bonds for them to sell at par? (Select the best choice below.) A. For the bonds to sell at par, the coupon must equal the yield. Since the coupon is 6.59%, the yield must also be 6.59%, or BBB rated. B. For the bonds to sell at par, the coupon must equal the yield. Since the coupon is 6.94%, the yield must also be 6.94%, or BBB rated. C. For the bonds to sell at par, the coupon must equal the yield. Since the coupon is 6.36%, the yield must also be 6.36%, or A rated. D. For the bonds to sell at par, the coupon must equal the yield. Since the coupon is 6.59%, the yield must also be 6.59%, or A rated. d. Suppose that when the bonds are issued, the price of each bond is $960.82. What is the likely rating of the bonds? Are they junk bonds? (Select the best choice below.) A. Given a yield of 7.56%, it is likely these bonds are rated BB. Yes, BB-rated bonds are junk bonds. B. Given a yield of 6.94%, it is likely these bonds are rated BBB. No, BBB-rated bonds are not junk bonds. C. Given a yield of 7.56%, it is likely these bonds are rated BB. No, BB-rated bonds are not junk bonds. a. Assuming the bonds will be rated AA, what will be the price of the bonds? b.
