Part A-Consider a bond with a settlement date of 01/19/1994. The maturity of the bond is March 15, 2021. The coupon rate is 5.5%. If the yield to maturity of the bond is 5.34% (bond equivalent yield, semi annual compounding), what is the list price of the bond on the settlement date? What is the accrued interest on the bond? What is the invoice price of the bond?
Part B-Now suppose the bond in the previous question is selling for 102% of face value. What is the bond’s yield to maturity? What would the yield to maturity be at a price of 102% of face value, if the bond pays its coupons only once a year?
