Calculate the duration of $1,000, 6% coupon bond with three years to maturity. Assume that all market interest rates are 7%. Calculate the expected price change if interest rates drop to 6.75% using the duration approximation. Calculate the actual price change using discounted cash flow.

Assume that the price of a $1,000 zero coupon bond with 7 years to maturity is $547 when the required rate of return is 9 percent. If the required rate of return suddenly changes to 13 percent, what is the price elasticity of the bond? 7. 8. Assume a bond with a $1,000 par value and an 7 percent coupon rate, two years remaining to maturity, and a 9 percent yield to maturity. What is the duration of this bond?
(a) A Bank has a bond with a maturity of 4 years. The coupon rate of the bond is 8%, the yield to maturity is 9%, and the face value is 1 million dollars. Interest payment will be paid annually. Determine the price (present value) and duration of the bond. (9 marks) (b) Predict the change in the bond price if interest rates rise by 100 basis points based on the duration of the bond that you have calculated in...
a. A 6% coupon bond paying interest annually has a modified duration of 7 years, sells for $820, and is priced at a yield to maturity of 9%. If the YTM decreases to 8%, what is the predicted change in price ($) using the duration concept? (2 marks) b. A bond with annual coupon payments has a coupon rate of 6%, yield to maturity of 7 % , and Macaulay duration of 12 years. What is the bond's modified duration?...

An 8% coupon bond with 3 years to maturity has a yield of 7%. Assume that coupon is paid semi-annually and face value is $1,000. (a) Calculate the price of the bond. (Keep 2 decimal places, e.g. 90.12) (b) Calculate the duration of the bond. (Keep 4 decimal places, e.g. 5.1234) (c) Calculate this bond's modified duration. (Keep 4 decimal places, e.g. 5.1234) (d) Assume that the bond's yield to maturity increases from 7% to 7.2%, estimate the new price...
You learn that a Wal-Mart bond has a maturity of 20 years and a duration of 11.9 years. Suppose that interest rates on this bond fall by 0.93%. Calculate the corresponding percentage change in the price of the bond using the approximation method based on bond duration. Give your answer in percent to one decimal place. If the price decreases, then include a minus sign; if the price increases, do not include any sign. Do not type the % symbol....
Compute the duration of a bond with a face value of $1,000, a coupon rate of 7% (coupon is paid annually) and a maturity of 10 years as the interest rate (or yield to maturity) on the bond changes from 2% to 12% (consider increments of 1% - so you need to compute the duration for various yields to maturity 2%, 3%, …, 12%) . What happens to duration as the interest rate increases?
1. A bond with two years remaining until maturity offers a 3% coupon rate with interest paid annually. At a market discount rate of 4%, find the price of this bond per 1000 of par value. 2. A bond offers an annual coupon rate of 5%, with interest paid semiannually. The bond matures in seven years. At a market discount rate of 3%, find the price of this bond per 1000 of par value. 3. A zero-coupon bond matures in...
bond X and bond Y. Bond X has a face value of $1,000 and 10 years to maturity and has just been issued at par. It bears the current market interest rate of 7% (i.e. this is the yield to maturity for this bond). Bond Y was issued 5 years ago when interest rates were much higher. Bond Y has face value of $1,000 and pays a 13% coupon rate. When issued, this bond had a 15-year, so today its...
Bond with: Par Value: $1,000 Maturity: 4 years Coupon Rate: 6% Current Annualized 6-month yield of 9%. Assume that coupon payments are made semiannually to bondholders and that the next coupon payment is expected in 6 months. 1.) What is the bond's duration (annualized)? Compare this with the approximate duration.
