Kindly answer in two decimals
Suppose the 1-year, 2-year and 3-year zero-coupon bonds are trading at $97, $98 and $99, respectively. If the no-arbitrage condition holds, what is the market price of a 3-year coupon bond with $5 coupon payment?
Suppose that the YTM of the 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year zero coupon bonds are 2%, 3% and 3.5%, respectively. What is the market price of a 2-year coupon bond with an annual coupon payment of $4?
Hint: Goal Seek will be needed. A 3-year coupon bond is trading at $106.8. Using the same YTMs as in the previous question, what is the coupon payment of the bond?
