(5 points) The 6 1 4 T-bond (US) of August 15, 2023, was priced on March 28, 2014 to  yield 2.551% to maturity. What was the quoted price (in dollars per hundred dollars  of face value)? If you had bought the bond, how much would you have been  invoiced? State the quoted price in hundreds and 32nds. Note that you are required  to compute the bond’s price and accrued interest both using, and not using, Excel’s  PRICE() an ACCRINT() functions. Plot the price-yield relationship for the bond. To do  that, compute a set of bond’s clean prices for different yields-to-maturity in cells  E2:F42. To answer this question, use the spreadsheet tabbed “Bond Pricing” in the  attached file.  2. (5 points) The spreadsheet tabbed “Bond Data” contains US bond data from the  Wall Street Journal on March 15, 2014. For each bond, find the dates of previous and  next coupon payments (relative to March 15, 2014), the number of days in the  coupon period, the number of days elapsed since the last coupon payment, the  accrued interest, and the invoice price. Compute the yield-to-maturity for each bond. 3. (5 points) Given the information on the spreadsheet tabbed “Bond Data,” find the  price for a corporate 81 8 US bond of March 15, 2017 on March 15, 2014. The static  spread for the bond is perceived by investors to be 3.5%. To do that, first find a set  of zero prices and spot rates on coupon payment dates for the bond, and then use  the method of replicating portfolios. Find the yield-to-maturity for the bond.2 To answer this question, use the spreadsheet tabbed “Corporate Bond” in the  attached file. 4. (5 points) Given the information on the spreadsheet tabbed “Bond Data,” which of  the following two bonds is perceived by investors to be riskier (as measured by the  static spread)? a. 3 1 4 corporate bond (US) of September 15, 2016 traded at 101 5 32 on March 15,  2014. b. 1 6 8 corporate bond (US) of September 15, 2015 traded at 9917 32 on March 15,  2014. Find the yield-to-maturity for both bonds. To answer this question, use the spreadsheet tabbed “Static Spread” in the attached
