Answer #1

as required return for bond is not given we are assuming it 10%

now C=8%

t= 2 years

quarterly c= 4% which equals coupon = 400/4=100

T= 2*4= 8

RATE= 10/4=2.5

BOND PRICE AT 2.5% AND 8 YEARS= 6807

2) when market yield decreases by 4.5% so required rate on bond = 10-4.5= 5.5%

t=2*4=8

rate= 5.5/4=1.375

BOND PRICE AT 1.375% AND 8 YEARS= 7392

SO PERCENTAGE CHANGE IN ABC BOND PRICE= (7392-6807)/6807*100=8.59% APPROX
