On October 15, 2016, Koala, Inc. issued a 10 year bond (with a typical $1000 face value) that had an annual coupon value of $60. [We are assuming that the 2020 coupon has just been redeemed.]

Initially, the bond was sold for the premium price of $1,025.

On October 15, 2020, this bond was selling for only $975.

The market rate of interest for a riskless corporate bond, of this maturity, was 4.5% on October 15, 2016, which reflects market expectations about future rates of inflation.

The market rate of interest for a riskless corporate bond, of this maturity, was 4.0% on October 15, 2020, which reflects market expectations about future rates of inflation.

1. What was the nominal yield on this bond on October 15, 2016? [To 1 decimal place.]

2. What was the current yield on this bond on October 15, 2016? [To 2 decimal places.]

3. What was the yield to maturity for this bond on October 15, 2016? [To 3 decimal places.]

4. What was the risk premium for this bond on October 15, 2016? [To 3 decimal places.]

5. What was the nominal yield on this bond on October 15, 2020? [To 1 decimal place.]

6. What was the current yield on this bond on October 15, 2020? [To 2 decimal place.]

7. What was the yield to maturity for this bond on October 15, 2020? [To 3 decimal places.]

8. What was the risk premium for this bond on October 15, 2020? [To 3 decimal places.]

9. It is now October 15, 2020 and suddenly the Federal Reserve announces a massive program to reduce inflation. Instantly, the market rate of interest for a riskless corporate bond that would apply to this bond, falls from 4.0% to 2.5%. If there is no change in the risk premium expected for this Koala, Inc. bond, what will be this bond's yield to maturity? [To 3 decimal places.]

Note that if this has all been done correctly, following from #9, you should get $1,049.88 as the new selling price for this Koala, Inc. bon
