Mini Case – Bonds, Bond Valuation, and Interest Rates

Sam Strother and Shawna Tibbs are vice
presidents of Mutual of Seattle Insurance Company and co-directors of the
company’s pension fund management division. An important new client, the
North-Western Municipal Alliance, has requested that Mutual of Seattle present
an investment seminar to the mayors of the represented cities, and Strother and
Tibbs, who will make the actual presentation, have asked you to help them by
answering the following questions.

(d. What is the value of a 10-year,
$1,000 par value bond with a 10% annual coupon if its required rate of return
is 10%? -Not necessary to answer but is correlated with point E)

E. (1) What would be the value of the
bond described in Part d if, just after it had been issued, the expected
inflation rate rose by 3 percentage points, causing investors to require a 13%
return? Would we now have a discount or a premium bond?

(2) What would happen to the bond’s
value if inflation fell and rd
declined to 7%?
Would we now have a premium or a
discount bond?

(3) What would happen to the value of
the 10-year bond over time if the required rate of return remained at 13%? If
it remained at 7%? (Hint: With a financial calculator, enter PMT, I/YR, FV, and N, and
then change N to see what happens to the PV as the bond approaches maturity.)
