1. You have just purchased a newly issued 5-yr. RonenCorp bond at par. This bond (Bond A) pays $60 in annual interest payments. You are also negotiating the purchase of a 6-yr. RonenCorp bond that returns $30 in annual interest payments, and has six years remaining before it matures (Bond B). How much would you pay for Bond B?
2. Calculate the price of a zero-coupon bond that matures in 12 years if the market interest rate is 6.20 percent. Assume semiannual compounding. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
