A 20-year corporate bond has a par value of $1000 and a 9% annual coupon rate. Assume that your required rate of return is 10% and that you plan to hold onto this bond for 5 years. You and the market have expectations that in 5 years the yield-to-maturity for this bond (or another bond with similar risk and maturity) will be 8.5%. How much are you willing to pay for this bond today

There are three factors that can affect the shape of the treasury yield curve (r* t , ip t , and mrp t ) and five factors that can affect the shape of the corporate yield curve (r* t , ip t , mrp t , drp t , and lp t ). the yield curve reflects the aggregation of the impacts from these factors. suppose the real risk-free rate and inflation rate are expected to remain at their current levels throughout the foreseeable future. consider all factors that affect the yield curve. then identify which of the following shapes that the us treasury yield curve can take. check all that apply.a. downward-sloping yield curveb. upward-sloping yield curvec. inverted yield curve
