Negative numbers are always less than their absolute value.
It SHOULD always be less than the divisor... Otherwise your answer is wrong.
A negative number is always less than a positive number, in the exact same way that 3 is less than 4 and always will be.
... less than the original fraction.
No......The price of the bonds will be less than par or 1,000.....
No, only if they are not used to you. Once you bond, he will be a lot less scared.
All bonds have a stated or "par" value, which is the value that the bond will hold after the bond term is completed at maturity (par value is usually $1000 per bond). When a bond is issued at a discount, it means that a company issued the bond for less than the par value (i.e less than $1000). The original discount is calculated as the difference between the par value and the bond sale price, and it is amortized over the life of the bond.
if two bonds offer the same duration and yield, then an investor should look at their levels of convexity. if one bond has greater convexity, it is less affected by interest rate changes. also, bonds with higher convexity will have higher price than bonds with lower convexity regardless whether interest rates rise or fall. Ergo, investors will have to pay more with greater convexity due to the bond's lesser sensitivity to interest rate changes.
If the yield curve is downward sloping, the yield to maturity on a 10-year Treasury coupon bond relative to that on a 1 year T-bond is the yield on the 10 year bond. It will be less than the yield on a 1-year bond.Ê
The yield on a 10-year bond would be less than that on a 1-year bill
A zero coupon bond pays no interest. Thus the market price for such a bond is always LESS than the maturity (face) value. The amount by which the bond is priced below its maturity value is known as the DISCOUNT. For example, a $100 zero coupon bond maturing in one year priced to yield 10% (in simple terms) would be sold to the investor for $90.91 on the date of issue. The investor would receive no payments from the borrower until maturity, at which time the investor receives the $100 face value. Some brokerages will take a regular bond with coupons and "strip" it. They'll remove the coupons and sell the corpus of the bond separately from the coupons. A zero-coupon bond that was issued as such will normally have a really long maturity date--five to ten years isn't uncommon. You buy them as long-term investments...if you've got a child who will begin college when she's 19, you might want to buy ten-year zero-coupons that mature as the child enters each year of college.
Most states require either the insurance or a cash bond to be on file with the state. The insurance is always less expensive than the bond but it is an option.
The duration of Not One Less is 1.77 hours.
When a bond is issued at a discount, it is issued for a price less than par (face value). For example, if you were to purchase a bond with a face value of one thousand dollars for nine-hundred and eighty dollars, you bought the bonds at a discount because you purchased it for less than the bond will pay out at maturity. To calculate the 98, you would divide the purchase price by the par value.
Suppose that a bond portfolio with duration of 12 years is hedged using a futures contract where the underlying asset has duration of 4 What is likely to be implication on the hedge ratio and the hedging strategy of the fact that 12 years rate is less volatile than the four years rate?
When a bond sells at a discount, the yield is higher than the coupon rate. Your income is 1,100 x 8% = 88. You invested 970. 88/970 = 9.07% yield.
