What will be the price of the 2-year zero-coupon bond after 2 years? c. Suppose, next year, you consider buying 3-year zero-coupon bond and holding it for 2 years. What will be the realized compound return?
80 The price of the consol is $ b. You are concerned that the interest rate may rise to 6 percent. Compute the percentage change in the price of the consol and the percentage change in the interest rate. Compare them. Instructions: Enter your response for dollar amounts rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places ) and answers for percentages rounded to the nearest tenth (one decimal place). The new price of the consol would be $ 66.67 20...
