(1) A $1000 face value bond has a remaining maturity of 8 years and a required return of 11%. The bond’s coupon rate is 6%. What is the fair value of the bond?

(3) ( ABC $4.25 preferred is selling for $50.75. The preferred dividend is non-growing. What is the required return on ABC preferred stock?
(4) Suppose ABC has non-maturing (perpetual) preferred stock outstanding that pays $2.20 per quarter and has a required return of 8% (2% per quarter). What is the stock worth? SOLUTION
(5) ABC has many bonds trading on the NYSW. Suppose ABC’s bonds have identical coupon rates of 8.75% but that one issue matures in 1 year, one in 5 years, and the third in 10 years.
a. If the yield to maturity for all three bonds is 7%, what is the fair price of each bond?
b. If the yield to maturity for all three bonds is 6%, what is the fair price of each bond?
c. If the yield to maturity for all three bonds is 8%, what is the fair price of each bond?
