Homework Answers
The duration here can be calculated using Approximate modified duration
On Putting the values in the formula stated in attachment,
Approximate Modified Duration = (83.5-80.75)/(2*0.003*82)
= 2.75/0.492 = 5.59
Therefore, duration is 5.59

a) A portfolio manager wants to estimate the interest rate risk of a bond using duration. The current price of the bond is 98. A valuation model found that if interest rates decline by 35 basis points, the price will increase to 101 and if interest rates increase by 35 basis points, the price will decline to 96. What is the duration of this bond? b) A portfolio manager purchased a bond portfolio with a market value of $75 million....

7.4
Unlike the coupon interest rate, which is fixed, a bond's yield varies from day to day depending on market conditions. To be most useful, it should give us an estimate of the rate of return an investor would earn if that investor purchased the bond today and held it for its remaining life. There are three different yield calculations: Current yield, yield to maturity, and yield to call. A bond's current yield is calculated as the annual interest payment...

1. An investor purchases an annual coupon bond with a 6% coupon rate and exactly 20 years remaining until maturity at a price equal to par value. The investor’s investment horizon is eight years. The approximate modified duration of the bond is 11.470 years. What is the duration gap at the time of purchase? (Hint: use approximate Macaulay duration to calculate the duration gap) 2. An investor plans to retire in 10 years. As part of the retirement portfolio, the...
