Tоdаy is Mаy 15, 2017 (t=0). Yоu оbserve the following term structure of interest rаtes (semiannually-compounded, with maturity T) today. T-t r2(t,T) 0.5 2.63 1.0 2.86 1.5 3.45 2.0 3.94 2.5 4.35 3.0 4.42 (a) What are the prices of 1-year zero coupon bond and 2.5-year zero coupon bond? (Face value: F = $100) 1-year zero coupon bond: [answer1] 2.5-year zero coupon bond: [answer2] (b) Suppose you consider buying 2.5-year zero coupon bond today. What is the expected 1-year holding period returns (HPR, annual compounding frequency) for this bond, if you believe that the expectation hypothesis would hold? [answer3] (c) Suppose you have purchased 2.5-year zero coupon bond on May 15, 2017. One year later (on May 15, 2018), you observe that the term structure of interests actually stays exactly the same as in 2017. What is the realized one-year holding period returns (HPR) for the bond? [answer4] (d) If you are planning to hold the bond to the maturity (2.5 years), do the changes in the term structure of interest rates matter to you? [answer5] (e) Suppose you observe that a bank offers the following forward rate: f2(0, 1, 2.5) = 6.15%, which allows you to invest/borrow $100 million dollars at the quoted forward rate for the 1.5 years after 1 year from now (from May 15, 2018 to November 15, 2019). Is there an arbitrage opportunity? If there is, how would you take advantage of it? Describe the exact transactions that you need to make in order to obtain an arbitrage profit. First, assume that all zero-coupon bonds are traded at their fair values. Second, assume that you would like to generate positive cash-flows today and no other cash flows in the future. (Step 1) You [answer6] $100 million dollars at the bank's quoted forward rate (6.15%) (Step 2) You [answer7] 1-million units of 1-year zero-coupon bonds. (Step 3) You [answer8] [answer10]-million units of 2.5-year zero-coupon bonds. (f) With increasing term structure of interest rates, do you think Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) of 5-year 4% coupon bond should be higher than that of 3-year 4% coupon bond? [answer9]
