A 30-year maturity 6% coupon bond making annual coupon payments selling at a yield to maturity of 8% has a duration of 11.79 years and a convexity of 231.2. a. Suppose the yield to maturity increases to 9%. What will be the actual percentage capital loss on the bond? What percentage capital loss would be predicted by the duration rule and the duration-with-convexity rule? b. Repeat part (a), but this time assume the yield to maturity decreases to 7%. c....
Consider a 2-year coupon bond that pays coupon annually with a coupon rate of 3%, face value $1000, a yield to maturity of 4%. (a) What is the approximated bond price estimated by duration if the yield is increased by 0.5%? (b) What is the convexity of this coupon bond?
A 12.25-year maturity zero-coupon bond selling at a yield to maturity of 8% (effective annual yield) has convexity of 139.2 and modified duration of 11.34 years. A 40-year maturity 6% coupon bond making annual coupon payments also selling at a yield to maturity of 8% has nearly identical modified duration--12.30 years--but considerably higher convexity of 272.9. a. Suppose the yield to maturity on both bonds increases to 9%. What will be the actual percentage capital loss on each bond? il...
A bond is issued with a coupon of 6% paid annually, a maturity of 34 years, and a yield to maturity of 8%. What rate of return will be earned by an investor who purchases the bond for $768.26 and holds it for 1 year if the bond’s yield to maturity at the end of the year is 9%?
You buy an eight year bond that has a 6% current yield and a 6% coupon (paid annually). In one year, promised yields to maturity have risen to 7%. What is your holding period return?
A 30-year maturity bond has a 6% coupon rate, paid annually. It sells today for $877.42. A 20-year maturity bond has a 5.5% coupon rate, also paid annually. It sells today for $889.5. A bond market analyst forecasts that in five years, 25-year maturity bonds will sell at yields to maturity of 7% and that 15-year maturity bonds will sell at yields of 6.5%. Because the yield curve is upward-sloping, the analyst believes that coupons will be invested in short-term...
A 13.25-year maturity zero-coupon bond selling at a yield to maturity of 8% (effective annual yield) has convexity of 161.9 and modified duration of 12.27 years. A 40-year maturity 6% coupon bond making annual coupon payments also selling at a yield to maturity of 8% has nearly identical modified duration-12.30 years-but considerabl higher convexity of 272.9 a. Suppose the yield to maturity on both bonds increases to 9%. What will be the actual percentage capital loss on each bond? What...
Consider a three-year bond with 6% annual coupon (paid semi-annually). Suppose the yield on the bond is 8% per year with continuous compounding. What is the duration of the bond (in years)? (required precision: 0.01 +/- 0.01)
A 13.05-year maturity zero-coupon bond selling at a yield to maturity of 8% (effective annual yield) has convexity of 1572 and modified duration of 12.08 years. A 40-year maturity 6% coupon bond making annual coupon payments also selling at a yield to maturity of 8% has nearly identical modified duration--12.30 years—but considerably higher convexity of 272.9. a. Suppose the yield to maturity on both bonds increases to 9%. 1. What will be the actual percentage capital loss on each bond?...
Consider a 2-year coupon bond that pays coupon annually with a coupon rate of 3%, face value $1000, a yield to maturity of 4%. (a) What is the approximated bond price estimated by both duration and convexity if the yield is increased by 0.5%? (b) Suppose you purchased 1 unit of the above coupon bond mentioned above and is worried if the interest rate will increase. You are considering taking short position on a zero coupon bond. The zero coupon...
