2. Find the price of a 20-year $1000 bond with a coupon rate of 5% and a yield to maturity of
4.0% per year compounded semiannually. This bond makes payments semiannually. (3
points)
Coupon payments = .05 x 1000 / 2 = $25
r6 = .04 / 2 = .02

3. A stock has just paid a quarterly dividend of $0.50. Dividends are expected to grow 2.0%
per quarter. Given a cost of equity of 14% per year, compounded quarterly, find the price of
the stock. (2 points)
