a). Change in yield = 100 bp = 100*0.01 = 1 percent
Change in price = price*(-modified duration)*change in yield
= 80*(-5)*(-1%) = 4
New price = 80 + 4 = 84
Dollar duration = - change in price/ change in yield in decimal = - (84 - 80)/(-1) = $4
b). Dollar duration is the actual dollar amount by which a bond price changes when interest rate change.
c). Market value of 15 million par value = (80/100)*15 = 12 million
Modified duration = 5 so for a 100 bp change in yield, price will change by 0.01*5 = 0.05
Dollar duration of 12 million = 0.05*12 = 0.60 million or 600,000
d). Let DABC = dollar duration for 100 bp change in yield for bond ABC
MDXYZ = Modified duration for bond XYZ
MVXYZ = market value of bond XYZ at which it will have the same dollar duration as bond ABC
DABC = (MDXYZ/100)*MVXYZ
MVXYZ = (100*DABC)/MDXYZ
MVXYZ = (100*600,000)/4 = 15,000,000
Market value of bond XYZ which should be purchased to equal the dollar duration of bond ABC is 15 million.
