A bond is currently selling at $1,025.5, has a yield-to-maturity of 6.46%, and has a duration of 8. If the yield-to-maturity rises to 6.86%, calculate the new price of the bond.
% change in price = -duration * change in yield
change in yield = 6.86% - 6.46% = 0.4%
% change in price = -7 * 0.004
% change in price = -0.028 or -2.8%
New price = 1,025.5 ( 1 - 2.8 /100)
New price = $996.79

11. A bond makes annual coupon payments, is currently worth $971, and has a duration of 5.39 years. The bond's yield-to-maturity is currently 9%. If the rate on same-risk bonds suddenly changes to 8.51%, then what does duration predict the new price of the bond to be? Round your answer to the nearest penny. HINT:Calculate the predicted percentage price change and apply that to the bond's old price of $971.
