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.....
The cost of a $1,000 bond typically refers to its face value, which is the amount the issuer agrees to pay the bondholder at maturity. However, the market price can vary based on interest rates, credit quality, and time until maturity. If the bond is sold at a premium or discount, it may cost more or less than $1,000. For example, if interest rates rise, the bond might sell for less than its face value.
Bond duration measures the sensitivity of a bond's price to changes in interest rates, reflecting the average time it takes to receive the bond's cash flows. When yields increase, the present value of future cash flows decreases, leading to a lower bond price and a shorter duration. This occurs because higher yields make future cash flows less valuable, effectively reducing the time-weighted average of those cash flows. As a result, the bond becomes less sensitive to further interest rate changes, thus decreasing its duration.
A call provision can make a bond more risky for the investor because it gives the issuer the option to redeem the bond at a predetermined price before maturity, potentially preventing the investor from earning interest for the full term. On the other hand, a sinking fund provision can make a bond less risky for investors as it requires the issuer to set aside money regularly to retire a portion of the bond issue before maturity, reducing the overall outstanding debt and default risk.
Provisions in bonds can make them either more or less risky, depending on the specific details. For example, call provisions can make a bond more risky for investors as they allow the issuer to redeem the bond early. Conversely, provisions like sinking funds can make a bond less risky by requiring the issuer to set aside money to repay the bond at maturity.
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.
A bond is a debt security issued by a government or corporation to raise capital. Investors who purchase bonds are essentially lending money to the bond issuer in exchange for periodic interest payments and the return of the bond's face value at maturity. Bonds are typically considered less risky investments compared to stocks.
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
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.
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.
