Problem 4(25 marks)
We adopt the same setup as in Problem A3. Suppose that another investor would like to
invest the capital (say $10000) for 4 years and seeking for a return strictly higher than i0=
3%. You are given that
The investor expects that the future interest rate will go up.
The investor demands a minimum return of imin=2.6%
(a) Calculate the safety margin at current time.
(b) Suppose that the investor is only allowed to invest the capital into one bond.
(i) Which bond should he/she consider? Explain your answer.
(ii) The investor invests the capital into the bond suggested in (b)(i) and suppose
that the interest rate has dropped to 2.5% after 1 year. Calculate the safety
margin and suggest a strategy for the investor at time 1 based on what has
been discussed in class.
