Assume the following values for probability of default

         t+1     t+2    t+3    t+4    t+5

A       0.3    0.3     0.3    0.3     0.3

B        0        0      0       0.5     0.5

  • Assume a 5 year, 10%, $1000 face value bond is bought at par: $1000.  Calculate the yields on the two bonds.  Which is higher?
