Today is 1 July 2020. Joan has a portfolio which consists of two
different types of financial instruments (henceforth referred to as
instrument A and instrument B). Joan purchased all instruments on 1
July 2012 to create this portfolio and this portfolio is composed
of 40 units of instrument A and 35 units of instrument B.
- Instrument A is a zero-coupon bond with a face value of 100.
This bond matures at par. The maturity date is 1 January 2030.
- Instrument B is a Treasury bond with a coupon rate of
j2 = 4.01% p.a. and face value of 100. This
bond matures at par. The maturity date is 1 January 2023.
- Calculate the current price of instrument B per $100
face value. Round your answer to four decimal places. Assume the
yield rate is j2 = 3.92% p.a. and Joan has just
received the coupon payment.
