P = C*{1-[(1+r)^(-n)] / r}. +. { F/ [(1+r)^n]}
Where,
P = Price of Bond
C = Coupon payment
r = interest rate
n = No of years
F = Face value
Bond A
Price of Bond A ( PA ):
CA = 6% * 1000 = $60
nA = 4 years
rA = 6%
PA = 60* {1-[(1+0.06)^(-4)] / 0.06} + { 1000 / [(1+0.06)^ 4 ]}
PA = $1000
Bond B
Price of Bond B ( PB ):
CB = 6% * 1000 = $60
nB = 12 years
rB = 6%
PB = 60* {1-[(1+0.06)^(-12)] / 0.06} + { 1000 / [(1+0.06)^ 12 ]}
PB = $1000
If interest rate goes up by 1%
rA = rB = 7%
PA = 70* {1-[(1+0.07)^(-4)] / 0.07} + { 1000 / [(1+0.07)^ 4]}
PA = $1000
PB = 70* {1-[(1+0.07)^(-12)] / 0.07} + { 1000 / [(1+0.07)^ 12]}
PB = $1000
If interest rate goes down by 1%
rA = rB = 5%
PA = 50* {1-[(1+0.05)^(-4)] / 0.05} + { 1000 / [(1+0.05)^ 4]}
PA = $1000
PB = 50* {1-[(1+0.05)^(-12)] / 0.05} + { 1000 / [(1+0.05)^ 12]}
PB = $1000
Long term bond is likely to be affected more due to interest rate changes because of the following reasons:
a. Interest rate are more likely to change in long term than short period of time
b. Investors are more likely to hold the short term bonds till maturity despite of interest rate changes as less coupon payments are remaining. On the other hand investors in long term bond maturity will be more likely to discount the bond for lesser price due to interest rate changes.
