There are two three year bonds with par values of $100; one pays $8 annually and costs $108 and the other $4 semi-annually and costs $109.

- What is the yield to maturity (YTM) on the annual 3 year bond?
- What is the semi-annual yield to maturity on the semi-annual 3 year bond?
- Assuming the same YTM in a) what is the price of the annual bond in a year when there are only 2 years left to run?
- Assuming the same YTM in b) what is the price of the semi-annual bond in a year where there are only 2 years left to run?
- Assuming the same YTM in b) what is the price of the annual bond in a year and a half when it has only 18 months to run?
