If the market's required yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 14 percent, what is the value of the bond? What is its value if the interest is paid annually and semiannually?

Question 3: (Yield to maturity) The market price is $750 for a 20-year bond ($1,000 par value) that pays 9 percent annual interest, but makes interest payments on a semiannual basis (4.5 percent semiannually). What is the bond's yield to maturity?

Question 4: (Yield to maturity) A bond's market price is $950. It has a $1,000 par value, will mature in 14 years, and has a coupon interest rate of 8 percent annual interest, but makes its interest payments semiannually. What is the bond's yield to maturity?

Question 5: (Bond valuation relationships) Arizona Public Utilities issued a bond that pays $70 in interest, with a $1,000 par value and matures in 25 years. The markers required yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 8 percent.(Round to the nearest cent.) For questions with two answer options (e.g. increase/decrease) choose the best answer and write it in the answer block.

a. What is the value of the bond if the markers required yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 8 percent?

b. What is the value of the bond if the markers required yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond increases to 11 percent?

c. What is the value of the bond if the market's required yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond decreases to 7 percent?

d. The change in the value of a bond caused by changing interest rates is called interest-rate risk. Based on the answer: in parts b and c, a decrease in interest rates (the yield to maturity) will cause the value of a bond to (increase/decrease):

By contrast in interest rates will cause the value to (increase/decrease):

Also, based on the answers in part b, if the yield to maturity (current interest rate) equals the coupon interest rate, the bond will sell at (par/face value):

exceeds the bond's coupon rate, the bond will sell at a (discount/premium):

and is less than the bond's coupon rate, the bond will sell at a (discount/premium):

e. Assume the bond matures in 5 years instead of 25 years, what is the value of the bond if the yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 8 percent? $ 960.07 Assume the bond matures in 5 years instead of 25 years, what is the value of the bond if the yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 11 percent?

f. Assume the bond matures in 5 years instead of 25 years, what is the value of the bond if the yield to maturity on a comparable-risk bond is 7 percent?

If the firm decides to increase its retention rate, what will happen to the value of its common stock?

Question 9: (Relative valuation of common stock) Using the P/E ratio approach to valuation, calculate the value of a share of stock under the following conditions:

the investor's required rate of return is 13 percent,
the expected level of earnings at the end of this year (E1) is $8,
the firm follows a policy of retaining 40 percent of its earnings,
the return on equity (ROE) is 15 percent, and
similar shares of stock sell at multiples of 8.571 times earnings per share.

Now show that you get the same answer using the discounted dividend model.

a. The stock price using the P/E ratio valuation method is:

b. The stock price using the dividend discount model is:
