Your observations of the bond market have highlighted the following bond prices, as shown in the table below. All the bonds have $1000 face value, pay coupons annually and all have the same calendar day of maturity (which was yesterday) with differing numbers of years remaining. 1-year 2-year 3-year Description 4% coupon 5% coupon 6% coupon Current price ($) 990 1000 1020 1. Estimate the term structure for the next three years (i.e., spot rate for the first year, and the forward rates for the second and third years), assuming the pure expectations hypothesis (PEH) holds. The spot rate for the first year, the forward rate for the second year, and the forward rate for third year are 4.5%, 4.7%, and 4.8%, respectively. 2. What must be the price of a three-year Government of Canada 5% annual coupon bond? 3. A corporate bond has a $1000 face value, 3 years to maturity, and a 6% annual coupon. This bond is retractable (puttable) only at two times: at the end of year 1 for $975, and at the end of year 2 for $990. These bonds trade at a 2% yield spread to the stated term structure, and issue costs are minimal and can be ignored. Applying the PEH, when, if ever, would you expect the bondholders to put the bond back to the corporation?
