b. What would be the value of the bond described in part (a) if, just after it had been issued, the expected inflation rate rose by three percentage points, causing investors to require a 15% return? Is the security now a discount bond or a premium bond?
c. What would happen to the bond's value if inflation fell, and rd declined to 8%? Would it now be a premium bond or a discount bond?
d. What is the yield to maturity on a 10-year, 8% annual coupon, $1,000 par value bond that sells for $880.00? That sells for $1,130.50?
