Answer #1
New bond price @ YTM =3.75 using duration and convexity
Mod.duration prediction = -Mod. Duration*Yield_Change*Bond_Price
=-6.67*-0.02297*107
=16.3934593
Convexity adjustment = 0.5*convexity*Yield_Change^2*Bond_Price
=0.5*135*-0.02297^2*107
=3.81074195025
New bond price = bond price+Mod.duration pred.+convex. Adj.
=107+16.39+-1.66
=127.2
