You are going to make an investment of $1000, and are considering 2 options: Option one is a zero-coupon 5-year bond of a company that just declared bankruptcy. Its face value is $1000 and its current price is $250 (so you would purchase 4 of them). You believe that at the time of bond maturity, there is a 50% chance that bond holders will end up receiving 20% of face value, and a 50% chance that bond-holders will receive 35% of face value (there is no chance the bond-holders will receive the full $1000 of face value). a. What is the expected return of the risky corporate bond over the 5-year holding-period (in %)?
b. What is its effective annual return?
c. Which one of these statements is true?
