Ms. Alumm is the portfolio manager for a large insurance company. She is considering investing $1 million to purchase the bonds of Patriot Enterprises, Inc.

[A] All of Patriot’s bonds have market prices that imply a yield to maturity of 8% "bond equivalent yield" (that is 4% every 6-month period).1 Each Patriot bond is described here, based on a $1,000 face value (par value), which is the promised payment at maturity.

. Bond A has five years until maturity and pays a 9% coupon yield ($45 every 6 months on a $1,000 face value bond).

. Bond B has ten years until maturity, pays an 8% coupon yield ($40 semiannual payments), and is being offered in a private placement at par.

. Bond C is a zero-coupon bond that pays no explicit interest, but will pay the face amount of $1,000 per bond at maturity in ten years.
